Even here in Arizona there is no shortage of water. There is only very bad management by the centralized authorities that have monopolized water and sewage.
That's actually been a good thing. It has forced many of us to reconsider and turn to decentralized, local solutions. Maybe 31 years ago I realized humanure is a great resource and us…

That's actually been a good thing. It has forced many of us to reconsider and turn to decentralized, local solutions. Maybe 31 years ago I realized humanure is a great resource and used a composting toilet. Several years ago I switched to putting infiltrators on my sewage system and over-planted them with food producing trees. Now every time I shit, (I piss in a bucket and throw it on the garden twice a day - yes, there are bucket seats for women) shower or do dishes, I'm watering and fertilizing those trees. I also capture all the rain water from the roof of my house and direct it to plantings.
I have some friends who live 100% off of rain water - bathroom, shower, drinking etc.
Bypass monopolized authoritarian rule with a decentralized, local solution.

"Bypass monopolized authoritarian rule with a decentralized, local solution." Yes!!!!!
As far as rain water, I can't think about it nowadays without thinking about geoengineering.. :(
That is something to consider. My friends have a fairly elaborate filtration system. Mine all goes to the landscape.
