The first night we moved into our house in River City, it poured!! We discovered that the quality of our water (and almost everyone's in the city) is very dirty, not even good for bathing much of the time. So T started doing a very simple version of rainwater capture technology: he just caught the rainwater in a bucket. :) We had enough water for at least a week from that rainstorm. The bucket was filling up every few minutes! We learned very quickly why the locals rely on rainwater for their everyday needs. But many still use the polluted river water or don't know how to store the water well in order to keep it germ free. We are excited to start learning how to meet this simple but critical need. The learning began in our own home.
