Although water is
abundant as it, covers approximately 71% of the planet, only a small portion of
it is safe to drink. This makes drinking
water an extremely rare and valuable commodity.
Having access to clean drinking water is indeed a blessing and is slowly
becoming more expensive as the years go by.
Having experience the wrath of the latest typhoon which knocked-out the
power from our area for 6 days, makes you wonder which is more valuable water
or electricity? Unfortunately, the loss of electricity would also mean
temporary disruption of water supply.
Believe me, during these times of scarcity you'd always prefer water
against electricity. Makes you rethink your priorities and appreciate the
simple things in life.
Here is a list of items
where you can consider using rain water:
1. Clean your garage floor - Don't waste clean
drinking water just to clean your garage floor of dirt and grime.
2. Water you plants -
Plants just love rain water and they grow even better with it.
3. Mop the floor - You walk on floors, so why not consider using
rain water in cleaning it.
4. Flush the toilet -
After all toilets are places where you do your business, so why waste perfectly
good drinking water on flushing your toilet.
5. Clean the house - Why
waste perfectly clean water in cleaning your house?
6. Wash your clothes -
Once you filter the sediments from the rain water, it should do nicely for
washing your clothes.
