We still don't have running water at the house I rented, we are waiting for the water truck to come, and nobody knows when that is, I have heard 3 days, and 3 weeks. We have been using water from a bucket for everything. I use a bucket and pot to take a bath... Craig
It happens quite often here in Panama. We are prepared for water outages. My personal belief is to never rely on anyone else to supply our basic needs. If you can afford it get a nice size reserve water tank.
It amazes me that an area with water all around, you would not have enough for simple house hold needs. I've not been to panama, but with the Pacific on one side, the Gulf on the other and a canal running through it. How can there be water shortages?
Desalinating water is not an easy or inexpensive process.
Thanks for the info. I had forgotten to follow. That is now done. With all the technology we have, it would seem like there should be some way to desalinate efficiently.
