If every drop matters!

We read it in almost every news report. Watercourses are very low.
The economy is grinding to a halt because shipping is becoming difficult. Power plants are running out of cooling water.

In this post I would like to talk about the parable of the little coliseum and the forest fire. You see my Spaceman standing on the edge my water barrel. Perhaps I am naive, but whenever I notice rain coming, I empty some of this barrel in advance. By doing so, I proactively water my garden.

Maybe it is less than a drop on a hot plate, but what if many drops cool down that plate already?

Fortunately, there are initiatives like the smart cistern that really get my heart racing. Students came up with a way to empty rainwater tanks automatically in advance, depending on the weather forecast.

Another simple solution is to pipe your drainpipe into your garden, if there is one, of course!
