How to Build a Rainwater Collection System




Poster’s comments:

1)      Our animals and pets can drink “human dirty” water just fine. God made them that way.  Thank goodness.

2)      If the water is “bad”, then they won’t drink it.

3)      There are many alternatives to any successful water collection system. Drilled wells and sumps (both indoor and outdoor) come to mind.

4)      Our animals and pets will always figure out where their water to drink can be found.

5)      The threat of malaria (a mosquito borne vector disease) exists in many places, and has to be dealt with, too.

6)      Water is always necessary for animals and plants to live, and can also be thought of as a public health situation, too.

7)      I once worked at a large plantation where over 64 miles (103 kilometers) of ditches were dug just to help eradicate the mosquitoes that carried malaria. Remember, it is usually standing swampy type water that breeds mosquitoes. Even bird baths can breed mosquitoes.
