We live in a part of the world where water is plentiful. The Great Lakes, the melting snow, and the summer rains all provide regular sources of water to our state. It’s easy to forget that in other parts of the country water is less available and in many parts of the world it is a scarce resource.

Water is getting more attention though these days in some surprising places. I thoroughly enjoyed the following clip and LOVE that this technology already exists.

Won’t it be cool when this project teams up with this project.

This year our family is planning on installing water barrels on many of our downspouts in an effort to cut in half the amount of water we use for the gardens. We’re not sure what we’re doing and last year it was really dry so we’re hoping for more regular rain this year. We’ll keep you posted on how the project goes.
