15 Days No Water
It’s easy to take things for granted that rarely fail us, like running water. I recently ran across a post that served as a good reminder. It listed 10 lessons learned while living without water for 15 days.
Harvest Rainwater with Sand Filters
Now tiny houses have very small roofs so you’d have to live in a very wet climate to really be able to harvest enough water to meet all your needs, but here’s a great way to harvest and filter at least some of your water. Visit green book publisher Chelsea Green for more information on harvesting rainwater with sand filters and the book The Carbon-Free Home: 36 Remodeling Projects to Help Kick the Fossil-Fuel Habit.
A related story was posted on The Good Human this past week that asked the question Just How Much Rainwater Can You Collect Off Your Roof?
