Water from a 3000 gallon rainwater cistern, pumped by a pump running off my solar energy roof. Feels good not having to worry about wasting anything.

And yes, my sprinkler is just a hose on a stick. Big Sprinkler hates me.

I have a lake water pump in my backyard and use that whenever I need to water my lawn, would like solar but have too many trees around my house to make it worthwhile.

>she calls her above ground pool a "rainwater cistern"

I'm looking to Solar Power my Water Tank too. But collecting the water has been the issue. My chicken Coops roof and Garage Roof are covered by Tree. Not sure if I can collect enough water to make it worth while.i have the setup but I'm currently waiting for Dollar Dollar to be available to get a gutter and filtering system.

Your observation about 'not wasting/anything' might still be wrong. You're approaching the issue of ressource scarcity in a comically simple fashion.

What do you mean?

Are you one of those people who conveniently forgets about the water cycle and pretends that we're "running out of fresh water?"

Has barely rained at all in the last 15 months where I live. Even the native trees started keeling over until we got a few showers last month.

Doesn't mean there's any less water available in the biosphere. It's just not where we need it to be. I know I'm being pedantic, but my gripe is with the people who think wars will be fought over muh water.

My entire property is built with collecting rainwater in mind. Water from all roof surfaces goes into the cistern.

What I mean is that there is people who conveniently like to pretend ressources themselves were infinite, just as if we collectively had more supply of renewables and technology for the generation of renewables than demand, which would put the value of those things at or close to zero btw.
I'll try with an example: Imagine you were filthy rich. You'd also live a very energy intensive lifestyle. You use all your purchasing power to buy all renewable power and generators for renewable power to consume it yourself. You'll even go as far as to make up use cases, like running electric heating and A/C at the same time.
This would leave no renewable energy or generators for that on the market for anyone else. Sure you can argue where 'neccessity' begins but everyone else would definately have a few requirements they would have to turn to fossil energy to meet.
In short: Wasting renewable energy and the generators for it is wasting energy. If you found a way to remove the portion that is renewable of the market the demand it used to met would then be met by fossil, as a result of your action. If your 'use' was pointless it would be wasted.
So what do:
No individual, if they want to claim fossil-free, should use more than the global availability of renewables minus the share that goes back into producing and maintaining generators for renewables divided by the number of individuals. If everyone did that fossil would be over in no time.

I was told about global warming and wasting my whole life, yet every time air temperature is above 30C, all I can think about is having sex with all the world's women who dress so skimpily, that they are legally naked.
The only ones who want to stop this is jews who want me to die childless.

my neighbors had their wells run dry the 5th year in a row in the middle of summer for a couple weeks
I didnt even bother to drill a well because they run dry when you need them most

Well in literally a door to underground river, you need to build a storage system if you want water to stay, moron.

Grew up in MI. Do you know how many times teachers, adults would tell us that Michigan will be a war zone when the US runs out of water? I believed it until I was in high school

Maybe if you drilled a shallow well in a marginal water table area even for jet pumps.

Except you are wasting all that land that could be growing expensive crops instead of useless grass so you can play outside jumpy jump.
