Atmospheric Water Generators extract water from humidity in the air.
First Flush diverters are used with rainwater collection systems. The diverter collects the first runoff from a roof in a tube. When the tube is full, water can then enter storage tanks. This allows dirt, debris, etc. to wash away before water enters storage. The flushed water is easily drained for use in gardens.

When fresh water is used, it becomes waste water. Homes produce two types of waste water. Graywater and blackwater.
An old-fashioned, hand-pumped water well is often easy to install. Shallow wells offer a backup source of water, or provide water where none was available. You can either drill a well by hand, or use a water-jetting device. Either method is inexpensive compared to commercial well drilling.
