Drinking Rain Water ?
    #8041741 - 02/19/08 06:37 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

This interrested me.(read from another thread)

What or the pros and cons. I alway thought the shit it cleanded out of the air wouldmake it bad.

Could a simple water filter make it safe? Or does one need to do more.

Also what needs to be done to store water so it want contam?

Thanks for the input.

I'm pretty sure its fine to drink. Its not going to make you shit blood or anything.

It does probably have some dirt (and some pollution) in it. But your digestive system is set up to take SOME dirt (probably less pollution).

Ya. There is a big difference in the rain water out in the middle of the woods in Canada and say...downtown LA. Use common sense when judging.

acid rain is more of a problem further up the jet stream as opposed to directly over a polluted city

Dr. Grant drinks rain water in Jurassic Park.

You could probably drink city rainwater if you don't do it often.

Heres a random drinking water trick

Dig a small hole
Put a cup or bowl in middle of hole
Secure a bag on top
Place a stone in the middle so that the bag sags over the bowl
Leave overnight
Drink!

The moisture from the ground will evaporate, collect on the bag and drip back into the bowl.

You can even use this method to collect water out in the desert.

People drink rain water all the time.

A good portion of the world subsists on rainwater.

Did you people really NOT know this?

If I drank rainwater I'd probably end up with a mutated smog stomach.

Well, you're Jewish.

It's depressing to think that in some places in the world you can't even drink rainwater because of the pollution.

At times I wouldn't mind giving all of this technology up just so we could have a beautiful world.

It depends, if you are a near a city it should be tested, or otherwise it is safe until it hits whatever container you collecting it in, given that it didn't blow over from a city or contain some unknown pollution. You can get a water filter for 30 bucks at homedepot and it will take 99% impurities.

If you want to make sure there are no pathogens or bacteria in standing water you can get an ultraviolet battery powered stick that you put in a glass of water and it sterilizes the water in 60 seconds.
