Re: Why I Choose To Distill My Drinking Water

Great post, Hopinso!

Of course, right away, I start designing waterfalls and artesian systems to make you nice outdoor soft water pools to soak in. (I wonder if minerals would settle, and seal a pool built of rocks.)

And I'd grow you fruit trees all around, and watermelons. Plants are wonderfully selective in what they bring up from the soil in nutrients.

It is a wonder to look down on the village of the Chaga people on Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.

Years and years ago they built channels for the glacier water trickling from above.

The channeled water feeds food trees they planted all around their houses.

From above, all one can see is the treetops. Their houses are invisible.

However, I don't know why or how, the Chaga are known to be fierce. Probably not now, of course, since the tea-growers have taken over the valley below, and the 'economy'; the government has severely limited their gathering of firewood, and the glacier is disappearing.

Still, in dreams, everything works very, very well. ...And I am so strong I can build it all myself.

Thanks for telling us.

Fledgling

Oh yes, in Turkey there are layers of shallow water pools formed by water slowly flowing out high up on a steep hillside or cliff face.

The minerals built up a rim around each wide pool, and the water slowly flows over the edge to the pool below...maybe as many as six pools down the slope.

The depth of each is not as high as a man's knee, and many people come to bathe in the warm water.

Someone said that the best air is that beside falling water.
