Thank you for your response. I would like to take back the inferences I drew re: centralizing supply. I'm a bit sensitive over some governments making rainwater collection illegal & ecosystem-friendly landscape design; due to some of my affected law-abiding friends having issues with it. > The same could be said about building reservoirs, or even collecting rainwater. That's true. Responsible water stewardship requires systemic discipline that is case-specific. One of the principles of regenerative agriculture & similar philosophies (i.e. permaculture) is to create edge effects to create the context for a more robust ecosystem. Pooled water, especially when designed to maximize edge effects (i.e. increasing the circumference of the shore), is a tech that contributes to creating robust ecosystems. Harvesting fog seems to fit in many circumstances. > These things are practically the definition of a decentralized technology. Well said & I agree. Harvesting fog seems like a legit tech option in concept. > And, cool video, but your proposed "better solution" seems nonspecific and naive. I was illustrating an example of how a small change has ripples. If history is any guide, tech (technology & technique) has unexpected benefits & drawbacks. Every ecosystem is different. As you said... > The problems are different in every ecosystem, and therefore, so are the solutions.
