I mentioned it only because in the Philippines where my parents live they are having their borehole (they call it deepwell) run dry because everyone around them also have borehole's and people think the water is endless and use too much.
I also have a friend in Canada who has a borehole (we call it pumpwell) and it is reliable most of the year but during the hottest summer seasons it also can go dry.
That's why I mentioned the dehumidifier. It can produce an unlimited amount of water BUT it only produces about 15L of water a day and uses 7.5kwh of power to make it (175 Naira @ 0.049USD/kwh).
The dehumidifier costs about 70K Naira to buy but again, unlimited water. However, it needs to be further purified to be truly drinkable.
Now there is also a machine called an "Atmospheric Water Generator" which makes unlimited, absolutely pure drinking water. Best water you can get. Again, its unlimited and makes up to 30L per day. It also uses the same amount of energy per liter (350 Naira for 30L). However, it costs almost 750,000 Naira to purchase.
I'm thinking of buying one because it is such an interesting device but probably wont because its so expensive.
If you are curious you can read about it here
Wow, its good to know about all these devices.
Tech has worked out some good tools here.
"7.5kwh of power to make"
You mean electric power supply here right?
Yes. On my homestead I have solar panels to make electricity and dehumidifier uses that electricity to make water. As long as I have sun I have water. It's not totally actually necessary because the area I'm in gets so much rainwater....but the point is sustainable water....so cool (probably only to me, but I can have my silly toys)

This is really cool.
You have it all planned and perfect.
I admire that
