DISASTER Rainwater no longer safe to drink

[Cag3db1rd]

This is a video fro The Weather Channel. Apparently we've been being poisoned all our lives by these things, and now they wanna come tell us about it.
From The Weather Channel Android App: ‘Forever Chemicals’ Make Rainwater Everywhere Unsafe To Drink - Videos from The Weather Channel

Well the rainwater goes into the ground so are the plants that grow food poisoned as well? I have a well and it has been tested and it was so pure the company said we could sell it as it was free of any issues.

 

[Publius]

I remember our government doing things that made rain water unsafe like when George H.w. Bush was President and wrote that some new chemical had to be added to gasoline and a few years later it was found this chemical was showing up in ground water test samples so they did away with that idea really fast.

YOUR WATER IS FILTERED

Scare people so they won’t collect rain water

 

[GB Appling]

Just remember They and Them want you dehydrated, starving and naked! They and Them will tell you anything to get you to comply.

[lostinaz]

Any rain water I collect would be filtered and sterilized. Birds poop on my roof, junk gets into the gutters, dirt and ash may stick to the roof. Obviously you want to filter all water.

DAY LATE SOMETHING SHORT SOME THING ABOUT A BASKET

 

[Lone Eagle Woman]

This is interesting! How much do they just want us drinking the water coming out of the faucets and such in society filled with all the chemicals and what all. Same as for when one goes into the wilds backcountry. The authorities scream don't drink the water because of Giardia and such. But rather it is a spring coming right out of the Earth in the backcountry or the rainwater, it is much better do think for you then the water with all the chemicals and what all coming out of that faucet in one of our modern day cities.

Sadly, the vast majority of individuals today don't have a clue about how to provide even the basic needs for personal survival. Something as simple as how to filter the different types of water sources foreign to them.

There are thousands of sources of materials on how to survive starting with the very basics of water, food, shelter and defense available on the internet free to fancy books on the subject.

In a true grid down, sh*t hit the impeller millions will die because of bad water, bad septic practices and cold.

WHO HERE DRINKS RINWATER,,,WHAT IS RINWATER

Context is your friend!

 

[Dennis Olson]

Face it: for the average consumer, “rinwater” is unsafe to drink. That’s because they’d think nothing of filtration. They’d just stick a barrel under a downspout, and dip a cup in when it’s full. The average consumer is too stupid to live. Thus it’s easier to just say, “This isn’t safe” rather than detailing how to make it safe, which J6P will never understand or execute.

My mema told stories about how the wigglers sure didn't like it when you added lemon to the water. lol

That was MTBE which was a substitute for tetra-ethyl lead in gasoline. Leakage from underground gasoline tanks was the primary pollution route although some went into the air and along with other engine pollution was left along the side of the roadways.

MTBE was found in high levels in several drinking water/recreational reservoirs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in the '90s. It was determined that recreational boating on the lakes was the cause. MTBE was in the fuel, hence it was in the engine exhaust that was spewed by boats into the water.

What I remember mostly about it was that my still quite new truck immediately lost two MPG and a noticable amount of power from the very first tank of that nasty crap we were forced to use by the dreaded EPA. When I bought gas outside the mandated MTBE-use area my truck instantly regained all the previously lost power and the two MPG. Nasty stuff that NEVER should have been approved. Unfortunately, the EPA-mandated replacement of 10% ethanol blend is no better performance-wise.

 

[Squib]

We drank it for years…metal roof, remote Montana location, Berkey…no problems.

Now we drink well water from almost 800’ down…again, no problem.

Now, would I drink from a shallow well like we used to years ago in Florida?

Not on your life!

Especially in a populated area.

 

[Josie]

So I guess this means no snow ice cream in winter.

 

[Dennis Olson]

You had a Berkey (Berkie? ) Filtration. Makes all the difference. I have one too. I’d imagine most on TB have one. (As an aside, when I see people loading up with cases of bottled water, I want to tell them, “Hey, do you know that for a couple hundred bucks, you’d never have to pay for bottled water again?” But I don’t want to invade their castle of ignorance.)

 

[Dennis Olson]

Snow falls on the ground too. I was always told, “Don’t eat the first snow. Wait awhile.”

 

[Samuel Adams]

This is the 'fear everything' era - it is govt policy.

Was there provision made for such function in our representative government, when the Original Compact was drafted ?

 

[MinnesotaSmith]

Scare people so they won’t collect rain water

Agreed. Rain water has in effect been distilled, if imperfectly. I have my doubts this is accurate.

 

[Dennis Olson]

It’s clean right up until it lands on a roof. Then, not so much.

 

[kyrsyan]

Rainwater has been unsafe to drink without filtering since I was a child. And that was a long time ago. Pretty much same reasons, lots of manmade chemicals from industry. It made the news for a while, but honestly, people forget. The problems didn't go away. But it can still be used, safely normally, without filtering for watering plants, cleaning things, filling pools, taking showers, etc.
If you want to drink it or cook with it, then filter it and heat it.

 

[Pinecone]

Next thing ya know, they'll say it isn't safe to breath air - you must filter it with a mask first!

 

[rob0126]

haha.

Whats next? Dont breath?

 

[Satanta]

Any rain water I collect would be filtered and sterilized. Birds poop on my roof, junk gets into the gutters, dirt and ash may stick to the roof. Obviously you want to filter all water.

Adf
D in just general crap in the air from pollution. I would still feel safer drinking rIn water straight then drinking from a rusty hubcap

 

[Dennis Olson]

Guys, evidently several of you have a problem with the words “breath” and “breathe.” Let me help:

When she heard the glass break downstairs, her breath caught in her throat.

The paramedics determined that the man was hyperventilating, so they gave him a paper bag and told him to breathe into it.

Please TRY to keep these straight. Thanks.

 

[Wildwood]

We don't do snow ice cream...not for several years. I'm not saying I wouldn't ever if I was hungry enough.

I'm still not convinced all the problems with seed germenation isn't more the rain water than the seeds. If it is the seeds, I'm still not sure rainwater didn't damage them in some way when they were developing.

All of our drinking water has gone through the Berkey for the last fifteen years. I still use the well water for cooking and making coffee. The coffee just taste better with our irony well water. If you own a Berkey, there's no reason not to have the luxury of consuming the best drinking water money can buy. Chances are, you'll never have to use it but you are denying yourself if you don't...why wait for a disaster? The filters last us for years so for about $25 a year we enjoy the best water...YMMV.

It will get better.

You just reminded me that over the years I've found all kinds of nasties on the roof. Racoons go up there now and then and crap which can carry disease. Found a dead squirrel one time. Bird poop all over. I wouldn't want to attempt to purify that filthy water for drinking. Water the garden or plants but that's about all.

You can use rainwater for flushing toilets. Save your well water for cooking, cleaning, showers.
