Yeah, sure. The 3-1/2" of rain Detroit averages in June is for sure going to supply the monthly household needs for a family of four if they set out a few milk jugs.

Well, at least you get it. Yes, people in urban areas can use water bottles. However, buildings wells and cisterns is another factor.

Go without drinking water for a long time, and see if it isn't life-threatening. That is what this person is talking about. He lives in Colorado, where it is much drier. He lives in an urban area, where you can't just punch a well. That is what I'm trying to convey to YOU. Anyone can get jugs of water. However, you are speaking of wells and water pumps.

Any place with a tap.

Our dairy farmer friend hauled water from the park this AM.

Whose tap? I could buy a some bottled water from the local grocery, sure, but that's not going to go far for a family of five.

That is what I've been trying to tell you. Forget water pumps and wells. That works in rural areas.
