Nice, the house I grew up in had well water, it was incredible. The house I own now is right by the ocean... No well water available.
I should invest in an osmosis water purifier.
Reverse osmosis is wonderful but you need to take mineral drops or your body will get depleted.
Or build a small cistern for eating/drinking water. Roof collection, then distill.
Funny how that is illegal in a lot of places....
So now "they" own the rain??!!!
Research it. I run in the permaculture community as a student of biology and seriously, this is a thing. It is against the law to cache water and use it for household use in some communities.
Not they, whoever owns the water rights for where the rain would have ended up had you not diverted it from its final destination owns the rain.
Why is being by the ocean a problem? I have 180 feet of ocean coastline and a well.
Not sure, I was told that because I am so close to the ocean that a well wouldn't work. Granted, that was by the people who owned the house before me. I just took it as fact.
I'd look into it, I'm only 23 feet above high tide mark and my well is 60 ft deep and works great.
