I don't understand why the topic of home water catchment never comes up. We lived off the grid for many years in Arizona and had a 500 gallon tank and a water catchment system that channeled water off the roof and through a filter and into the tank. This provided all of our water needs. If we could do this in the desert of AZ it could defintley be done in most of Oregon.

I think it's too cheap of a solution. It doesn't require enough government money or huge state projects.

Sometimes I think we need to look to simpler solutions.
