Cheapest way to collect rainwater I've seen: http://www.rainharvester.blogspot.com

So what exactly is your complaint, kalshnicovdude ? That people don't do anything about conserving water; or that somebody finally is? Or are you suggesting that we just shut the gate now that you're here? The fact of the matter is, we get 8 inches of rain here per year, and we lose 100 inches per year to evaporation. That means there isn't enough for even you. The only reason we have any water here at all is because of dams on the Salt and Colorado Rivers. Before that, everyone living here depended on capturing rainwater to survive. It was a good idea then; it's a good idea now.

Pretty soon we will be forced to recycle our own urine.And developers meanwhile,just keep building flim flam subdivisions for more families than a given area can sustain out here in the desert with full cooperation from the politicians that will have us going through our own garbage and taking showers once a week soon by law,so they can pack in more liberal constituants from the states they already ruined(California).I have to go check my ammo for the 5th time this week.
