When you have a chance I highly recommend making the trip and noting how things could change in various scenarios. A river is a great source of water, it will almost always have SOME moisture- getting to it, without being ambushed or taking too long, and purifying the water after/before getting it back to your BPOD.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-47368312588375415932015-02-18T14:33:11.020-08:002015-02-18T14:33:11.020-08:00You can green the desert and grow food, but then y...You can green the desert and grow food, but then your land is like a neon sign in the middle of a sea of gray.

Lots go down there but I haven't bothered. I don't see the transition to be all that big a deal. A significant rain change is more my worry ( but you can't escape that west of the Appalachians anyway )James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-66214797902748745222015-02-18T11:52:27.225-08:002015-02-18T11:52:27.225-08:00How you currently handle water is doable as long a...How you currently handle water is doable as long as the grid stays somewhat up (so probably decades more). But it certainly isn't generationally sustainable. You have the first step down - conservation, and a good start on the second step - utilizing alternate sources (like work and a Laundromat). <br />And, in the past, you mentioned the river is in walking distance- have you walked or biked to it to find out how well that route would work should the grid go down?<br />Water is essential for life- not just drinking, but cooking, cleaning, bathing, etc. I doubt it can be over emphasized. More people in history have died from insufficient or bad water than all the violence in the world combined.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.com
