It can be difficult for those of us who live near Lake Michigan to think of water supply as a problem. We have a huge body of water to swim in, drink from, shower with, do laundry, dishes and water our plants. And now we have a fresh dump of snow, low lying areas deep in water and mud and flooding to look forward to when this all melts. Water is a global problem we tend to think of locally.
Watch this video, it's nicely done. We've vowed to time showers, soak instead of let the water run continuously, save for a front loading washing machine. We already catch more than a five gallon bucket a day from our humidifyer in the winter and the air conditioner in the summer. We have a rain barrel. We need to do more.
