What if is doesn't rain?

The most common question that I hear... Great idea (harvesting) if it would ever rain? In the last week, we have received rain fall just about everyday. In just those few days, I have collected enough water to irrigate, wash all my cars/equipment for 4-5 months. Just as with any harvest, there is a season. The season to collect rain is now. Not when July arrives and water is tapped beyond our supplies. It is apparent now that the government, both local and state, will be slow to respond to our ongoing water issues. Many perceive an alternate water source as change and change to them isn't good. Something new; and it creates an uncomfortable feeling. Instead of talking with governmental officials, I plan to talk directly to folks that are spending money on water and show them savings by creating and utilizing their own water source. A source that no one can monitor, restrict, charge for, dictate when to use thus providing total and free independence. Why are our rest areas along the highway system being flushed 365 days a year 24 hours a day with precious potable water? Why do fire trucks take this precious water and spray it out onto the ground? Why are we washing our government vehicle fleets with potable water? Ever see a dirty police car or fire truck? Better yet… a dirty airplane? FAA will not allow it.
