Believe it or not, your tap water was probably a cloud at some point. Rain and snow fall onto mountains, forests, and lakes. That’s the raw, unglamorous starting line.
But rainwater isn’t exactly drinkable yet. It picks up dirt, leaves, and some very confused bugs along the way. Think of it as nature’s messy appetizer—we need the main course.
