You're on to something Janie --> living in water starved Utah has taught you the value of water, and that yes, water in a barrel is a temporary holding reservoir.
Is rain water more "pure" than regular drinking water? I guess it depends on the source, but it seems like rain water should be very clean and tasty. If your roof isn't made of lead or something like that.
I am a National Park Service hydrologist at Big Cypress National Preserve who works in collaboration with Florida Gulf Coast University, the Big Cypress Basin, and the multi-agency Big Cypress Watersheds Team.
The journal is your daily passport into the inner realm of south Florida's water cycle and interconnected watersheds -- a narrative voice into the watery wilderness of aquatic south Florida.
I make no claim to knowing everything, just enough worth sharing.Click here to find out more about the journal, or dig into the running list of posts.
Feel free to call or email me if you would like more information, or to be added to the journal's weekly mailing list. Otherwise, have fun reading -- and remember -- always be good to your watershed!

Wooo---looks like the folks in Belgium are doing a good job of USING the rainwater--instead of doing what we are doing and wasting it... NEAT!!!
