Yes.

“For the Colorado River basin, our results show that climate change over the next century as predicted by PCM would lead to a situation where total system demand (water deliveries plus reservoir evaporation) would exceed (decreasing) reservoir inflows, bringing about a substantial degradation in system performance.”

http://www.hydro.washington.edu/pub/niklas/Christensen_CC_final_0801.pdf

This study found that Colorado River flow will decrease 18% by 2050 primarily due to global warming. Here’s another good resource on the subject from the Colorado River Water Conservation District:

http://www.crwcd.org/media/uploads/CO_River_Uncertain_Future.pdf

Increasing demand plays a role as well as the population in the US southwest increases, but the bottom line is that global warming is already contributing to increasing drought in the region, which will only get worse:

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/GlobalWarming/Images/modeled_precipitation_ipcc.gif

“there is a broad consensus among climate models that this region [US Southwest] will dry in the 21st century and that the transition to a more arid climate should already be under way. If these models are correct, the levels of aridity of the recent multiyear drought or the Dust Bowl and the 1950s droughts will become the new climatology of the American Southwest within a time frame of years to decades.”

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/short/316/5828/1181

The USGS under the Bush Administration arrived at the same conclusion:

“In the Southwest, for example, the models project a permanent drying by the mid-21st century that reaches the level of aridity seen in historical droughts, and a quarter of the projections may reach this level of aridity much earlier.”

http://downloads.climatescience.gov/sap/sap3-4/sap3-4-final-report-ch3.pdf

So basically we’re experiencing both increasing demand and decreasing supply for the Colorado River due to global warming and associated climate change. It’s bad news for the US Southwest.

I just got strep a few weeks ago from my nephews, and this is what the Doc told me to do to make sure I do not spred it to anyone in my home or the kids I work with.
1. Spray the house regularly with lysol to stop any airborn germs,
2. Spray any toys that the children may have been playing with with “lysol hard surfaces”
3. Make sure everyone washes their hands before touching their face or eating anything
4. To be on the safe side you and your family should start taking vitamines or their is this drinkable vitamine out call Airborn…it’s really good and works wonders, I am a preschool teacher and whenever the kids are sick at school I come home a mix Airborn with water and drink it down, I do this for a day or two and hardly ever get sick, you can purchase AirBorn at Walmart!

Just because you and your family haven’t shown any signs of being sick dosen’t mean you guys can’t get it. I didn’t catch strep from my nephews untill about 2 days after they were completely over it. The strep germ can lingor in the air and live on surfaces for 2 weeks! So LYSOL LYSOL LYSOL!

Maybe a mercenary plutocratic predatory few and their admirers and followers think believe and expect that the need to preserve the environment by suppressing the reproductive success of the many justifies concentration of wealth of the global culture into the hands of a mercenary plutocratic predatory few. I think, believe and expect if sex for occupational, recreational and homosexual purposes were to become as acceptable in our global culture as sex for procreative purposes and sexual education were provided to the many that made these practices safer then there might not be a need to check the reproductive success of the many with psychotic extremes of poverty for the many and wealth for the few. With the support of education, entertainment and leadership that leads us to have the highest esteem of self and world we can possibly imagine, I think, believe and expect that we would be motivated to behave like friendly, homotolerant, peace makers; prevent the global culture from falling victim to apocalyptic self fulfilling prophecies; spare the environment from destruction by a war on terror fought by spreading terror in war; and better meet human demands for the necessities of life: breathable air, drinkable water, productive land and available sunlight.

Conservatives might argue that psychotic socio economic extremes of poverty for the many and wealth for the few are necessary to preserve the environment from pollution, deforestation, desertification, and desolation of the biosphere that would result if a more equitable share of the wealth of the global culture were given to the many. Conservatives might like to claim that growth of the population of the many is suppressed by concentration of the wealth of the global culture into the hands of the mercenary plutocratic predatory few, and thereby a balance is created in the body consuming biosphere between predator and prey. As a liberal, I challenge the idea that this concentration of wealth into the hands of the mercenary plutocratic predatory few is necessary to preserve the environment from desolation, degradation and destruction by the many. I see the dominance of the global culture by Abrahamic religions as a major contributing factor to the explosive growth of human population in recent history. I think, believe and expect that if sex for occupational, recreational, and homosexual purposes were deemed by more ideological authorities to be an acceptable and honorable alternative to sex for procreative purposes; then human population would naturally stablize at a level that would provide the best outcomes for the human and natural environments both now and into the indefinite future.

I will give you a general answer that will cover your question and a little bit more.
Lester E Brown is the director and founder of the global institute of Environment in the United states .he has compiled a report based on all the satalite information available from NASA,and all the information that has come from Universities and American embassies WORLD WIDE ,
his little book Plan B has been trans lated into 50 languages and won the best book award in 2003.

So he knows something and i have added a couple of things that i know
Clorofluorocarbons and gases that are released into the atmosphere by car exausts, non biodegradable materials
chief causes for global warming are the destruction of the ozone and excessive carbon production ,because we have so many cars and so much land is being deforrested
other reasons are the burning of rubbish especially tires and plastic,and the exessive use of aerosprays which release gasses these gasses built up ,and because we are a closed system (an enclosed package drifting in space)the trapped gasses heat up and produce the green house effect.

Because of the green house effect and the desertification this planet is heating up
Each degree rise in temperature signifies 10% crop loss

the trees produce the air that we need to breathe.
Deforestation must be stopped before desertification goes out of control and consumes the planet.the trees absorb carbon emisions ,which is poison to us and they produce oxygen which we need to breathe.

The sea does as well but this is limited to winter periods how ever if the waters also heat up ,the seas will absorb less than ususal and we create more and more

DESERTIFICATION
the sahara is growing by 7 kilometres every day.
Two major desserts in northern china are growing together making one giant dessert and,causing dust storms so making thousands of people refugeese

the trees evaporate a mist which ,which protects us from the strong rays of the sun .

The planet is drying out at an alarming rate.

Bad agricultural practises is turning vast teritories into desserts ,because of over grazing and the exessive pumping of carbon aquifiers ,the surface aquifiers already having been depleted.
And the use of fertilisers and heavy machinery that compacts the ground which raises the salt in the soil.

each year 70 million more people are consuming water but this is ,but a small part of what agriculture uses.

So our consumption of water is ever increasing and our drinkable water supply is shrinking because of polution ,and the production of potable water is less all the time because of deforestation.

In Tasmania one can already exchange one litre of water for 2 litres of petrol.
It is predicted that the wars of the future will be for water.

But at least one of his colleges is here ,he contacted me

this here below is half from Lester

DEFORRESTATION if it continues ,is that we could end up looking like Mars.Without an atmosphere ,without water,without air,with out life

the forrests make most of the water that we can drink or use for plant growth(sweet water)
some is condensed from the sea but that reaches only the coastel aereas .
The bulk ,comes from the forests ,and the rivers come from the rainfall which comes from the trees ,
and the trees with precipitation,feed the rivers when it is not raining and keep them running all year round.

If we kill all the trees,we kill the rivers .we kill the rain. We kill us.
The trees also absorb the heat in the day and heat up the place in the night ,so they keep the temperature confertable to live in.

In the dessert the nights are freezing cold and during the days you burn up

CARBON MONOXIDE
the trees absorb carbon emisions ,which is poison to us and they produce oxygen which we need to breathe.

So in short the trees produce the air that we need to breathe.
They also produce wood which is usefull and a wide range of food such as fruits

deforestation must be stopped before desertification goes out of control and consumes the planet.

What do you mean by powerful. If you mean military than it is likely Russia or Britain. Russia still has almost as many rockets and nukes as America, but Britain has the money and air superiority……

If you wanna talk resources than it’s Canada!! Canada has the most drinkable water in the world and in 50years or less, water will be priced like alcohol. America already wants to buy our water.

water maker answers:

Deforestation is definitely killing our planet. Less acreage and natural forest torn down means less oxygen taken out of the air for us to breathe, as well as less oxygen to balance out the co2 and methane in the atmosphere. As the forests are cut down, there become less land to grow food on to feed the world’s starving population and one less place to look at nice woodlands that nature intended to be there. The problem: capitalism, and the greedy unregulated land developers that want nothing more to make a profit on destroying our beautiful planet.

The solution: a vegetarian diet. A cow can eat 5 lbs. Of grain and vegetables, as well as 5,000 gallons of water, for every one pound of meat produced. That adds up QUICKLY. Another thing that is dying on our planet is our fresh water sources. As the population climbs towards 6.5 billion and the resources (including water) allotted to each of us gets even smaller, we must realize how important it is to conserve what water (less than 2% of water on our planet is drinkable fresh water). One of the most polluting causes of water pollution is factory farming. As waste, chemicals, etc. Are leaked into nearby water sources, fish habitats become devastated, and less fresh water is safe to drink.

There is a healthy substitute for everything available at the nearest natural food store or supermarket. From Purely Decadent, Soy Dream, and Tofutti brand ice cream, to Morningstar, Boca, and Gardenburger brand meatless burgers. For the small amount of fresh water and land we have left, go vegetarian!

water maker answers:

I’ve never used the mugs but I use a metal vacuum flask. This can keep coffee at a drinkable temperature for maybe 8 hours(if it is unopened). I find it hard to believe that an air gap could do as well.

water maker answers:

Excellent Question.
The vacuum sealer bags I get are food safe, for boiling in the bags to reheat, or thaw and heat in boiling water then pour out and eat. As for the BPA I don’t know. Honestly, taking out all the air should preserve the food from the bacteria, if you bag and seal properly and when the food is boiling hot. Waiting for it to cool first (uncovered) leaves it open to the air which has bacteria, yeast etc in the air we breathe. That is all natural and our bodies can with-stand that, but in the case of food, it will cause that airborne stuff to cling to the food and can cause early spoilage.
Theoretically, the complete and proper vacuum sealing of the foods should protect the food from spoilage. Sometimes I don’t allow enough extra bag (trying to conserve) for the vacuuming to be done right. The foods you mention that is sold without refrigeration, and without checking the ingredients for preservatives makes me think that yes some type of preservative is used. Something as natural as a bath in Citric Acid will help to keep colors from darkening, and does help with spoilage. The amounts of citric acid added varies with each individual item bathed. Vinegar’s acidic value is also useful as a bacteria deterrent. Again that varies with individual food and the amounts of vinegar.
Personally, I think I would try bagging up rice, vacuum seal it, leave it on the counter for 2-4 days then open up the bag and check it for smell, texture, and moisture. If it smells off, gets mushy, and is sticky to the touch it is spoiled, and of course would need to be preserved with some kind of additive. Again, I would try that with the beans as well.
Additives can be natural and from the earth as well.
I know there are “natural” additives out there as I have ordered these “Miracle Noodles” which are not refrigerated and keep for months and up to a year on the shelf. (I research the liquid the noodles came packed in, and it was very natural, and allowed by Federal Regulations to be used for food) The noodles came with explicit instructions as to the washing of the noodles then rinsing for 5 full minutes. Yes you needed to do that, because the natural liquid that is used in the noodles….is the nastiest smelling stuff you can imagine. Rinsing under cold running water for the full time is required if you intended to eat the rubber noodles. Lots of plus’ in the type of noodles sold as Miracle Noodles, but we couldn’t get thru the rubbery texture. No calories, or cholesterol was why I bought them. I made my husband eat them 3 times before he said no more, send them back.
Good luck, as you have an excellent idea.

water maker answers:

Heat stroke is the most severe form of heat illness. It can occur even in people who are not exercising, if the weather is hot enough. These people have warm, flushed skin, and usually do not sweat. Athletes who have heat stroke after vigorous exercise in hot weather, though, may still be sweating considerably. Whether exercise-related or not, though, a person with heat stroke usually has a very high temeperature (106 degrees F or higher), and may be delirious, unconscious, or having seizures. These patients need to have their temperature reduced quickly, often with ice packs, and must also be given IV fluids for rehydration; they must be taken to the hospital as quickly as possible (EMS is appropriate here), and may have to stay in the hospital for observation since many different body organs can fail in heat stroke.
Preventing Heat-Related Illnesses

You can prevent heat-related illnesses. The important thing is to stay well-hydrated, to make sure that your body can get rid of extra heat, and to be sensible about exertion in hot, humid weather.

Your sweat is your body’s main system for getting rid of extra heat. When you sweat, and the water evaporates from your skin, the heat that evaporates the sweat comes mainly from your skin. As long as blood is flowing properly to your skin, extra heat from the core of your body is “pumped” to the skin and removed by sweat evaporation. If you do not sweat enough, you cannot get rid of extra heat well, and you also can’t get rid of heat as well if blood is not flowing to the skin. Dehydration will make it harder for you to cool of in two ways: if you are dehydrated you won’t sweat as much, and your body will try to keep blood away from the skin to keep your blood pressure at the right level in the core of your body. But, since you lose water when you sweat, you must make up that water to keep from becoming dehydrated. If the air is humid, it’s harder for your sweat to evaporate — this means that your body cannot get rid of extra heat as well when it’s muggy as it can when it’s relatively dry.

The best fluid to drink when you are sweating is water. Although there is a little salt in your sweat, you don’t really lose that much salt with your sweat, except in special circumstances; taking salt tablets may raise your body’s sodium level to hazardous levels. (Your doctor can tell you whether or not you need extra salt.) “Sport drinks” such as Gatorade® will also work, but water is usually easier to obtain. And any kind of drinkable water — tap water or bottled spring water — will work; there are bottled waters around that have extra minerals and other things, and in some cases they may be beneficial for you, but plain water works just fine.

It’s also important to be sensible about how much you exert yourself in hot weather. The hotter and more humid it is, the harder it will be for you to get rid of excess heat. The clothing you wear makes a difference, too: the less clothing you have on, and the lighter that clothing is, the easier you can cool off. Football players are notoriously prone to heat illness, since football uniforms cover nearly the whole body, and since football practice usually begins in late summer when the temperature outside is highest. Therefore, football players should pay extra attention to the fluids they drink and lose: teams should consider limiting practice and wearing light clothing for practice on very hot days, and athletes should be able to drink all the water they want during practice.

Hope this is all the info u need!

Cheers!

water maker answers:

People all over the world drink rainwater, and so can you, as long as you collect it from clean surfaces and store in in a clean container.

The evaporation process that moves water from Earth’s surface back to the air is in all important respects equivalent to distillation. The amount of pollution in the air in almost any location that is not immediately downwind of an industrial complex is very small, and the solubilities of the pollutants in water is sufficiently low that in the process of condensation and airfall, very little contamination enters the water.

Very close to oceans, you can pick up aersol salts at very low concentrations, but really too low to even notice. Immediately downwind from major salars (evaporative lakes in desert environments), high winds from convective storms may put aerosol salts into local rainwater also, but this is very localized. For all practical purposes, recontamination in your collection process (including contact with your dirty hands and mouth) are far the greatest risk to rainwater as a potable source.

There’s a very good and thorough collection of rainwater chemical analyses around the world in Table 3.1 – Composition of Precipitation – World, pages 69-73, in EK Berner and RA Berner, 1996. Global Environment – Water, Air, and Geochemical Cycles. Prentice Hall Publishers, Upper Saddle River, NJ (USA). I’m sure your local reference librarian can help you find a copy.

Yes and no, what you gather it from or with may have contamination. Also is some areas the PH balance after falling through the air could have too high of an acid content although drinkable in a pinch not very good for you. Also the assumption that all fresh water is safe is totally false even boiling may not make the water drinkable you still need a good quality filtration system. I have a first need filtration system been using that for 20+ years. REI has an article for you to read on the subject for more great info

All resources are scarce in the sense that they will eventually run out. Even water and air are scarce; water must be clean and drinkable, while air must be breathable.

Honey is very easy to brew.

2-3lbs of honey/gal of water
1-2 tea bags
1-2 tablespoons of yeast (wine yeast is good but bread yeast works just fine too)
container to heat and a container with an air lock but you can get by with a cap that isn’t screwed on tight (you want gas to get out but keep air and insects out

Heat the water, tea bags and the honey til steaming and then let cool to 100F or lower, mix in yeast. Use a mixer to aerate the mixture and pour it into your container with the air lock or cap.

Let it set for a few weeks or longer. At this point it is drinkable

Pour it into a 2 liter pop bottle (clean of course) and let it set another week. Now it will have some carbonation too.

Use 1/2 honey 1/2 sugar if you want to make it even cheaper.

Lightly season with salt and pepper then puree, if taking by the teaspoon add app 2 -3 tablespoons olive oil and some grated parmesan cheese. I think you will like it. I use it on pasta sometimes.

water maker answers:

Realistically, with good diet and exercise, you can expect to lose an average of 1-2 pounds of fat a week. (side note: if you monitor your weight, you will probably notice that it fluctuates a lot even throughout the day. This is just water weight and not an actual representation of weight loss. For your most accurate weight, weigh yourself right after you wake up and before you eat or drink anything, even water). If we do the math, we can assume that you can lose almost 50 pounds in 6 months – a huge amount, when you consider that it’s 50 pounds of fat you’re talking about. Honestly, you just need to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water (which it sounds like you already do, kudos! ). You also need to be doing cardio every day. Running is best, but if you’re like me you probably hate it, so you can also bike, swim, power walk, or do any other activity that gets your heart pumping. Circuit training is really fabulous, and you can change up your cardio if you easily get bored with workouts. Also, if you have an iPhone/iPod touch, download the livestrong calorie tracking app. It’s great and keeps you on track as long as you stick with it! Good luck and you are not alone, believe me:)

water maker answers:

Eating that little of an amount is foolish and not eating breakfast is even worse. Eating like that will slow your metabolism down and everything you put in your body will pretty much stay in your body because it’s malnourished. Try the calorie counter app, thats what I use and it will give you a more realistic approach to losing a pound or two a week without starving yourself. You should be eating every 3-4 hours smaller portioned meals like 300-400 calories. Trust me you’ll feel great and lose weight without even trying. Also dont forget to drink alot of water, sometimes we feel hungry, but are actually just dehydrated.

water maker answers:

Yes, it can, and since you’re not yet full term please follow your doctors instructions and drink plenty of water. Even infants born at 36 weeks can have problems if they weren’t ready to come out just yet.

water maker answers:

I drink water and a bunch of delicious teas. Some are as sweet as fruit juice! Try Tazo Passion, Stash Raspberry White (but pull the teabag out in less than a minute), and Tazo Wild Sweet Orange for sweet, fruity drinks that are low- or no-calorie. They all claim to be zero calories, but they’re so sweet I’m not sure I believe it.

I also love to mix seltzer water with any kind of fruit juice. It’s like pop meets fruit juice, but has less sugar than both! See how much fruit juice you need to add to get it sweet and flavorful enough for you. For me, it’s about 1/4-1/3. Or I squeeze a bunch of lemons in for a tart treat.

I drink milk once in a while, or add soy or rice milk to my tea, but very rarely. I like it, it’s just not what I’m used to drinking. I grab chocolate milk at the store if I’m crazy hungry and can’t be bothered with chewing.

Tea doesn’t really add nutrition that I’m aware of, but it’s relaxing and helps with congestion, stress, and sore throat! Just make sure not to overdo the caffeine.

water maker answers:

Water.
Nothing else.

If anything, fresh, home made vegetable juice is good.
Drink it within 10 minutes of juicing coz after that all the nutrients die (so things like V8 aren’t good for you and don’t really give you 2 serves of veggies, since the nutrients are dead)

water maker answers:

Tea (low sugar), milk, and other low sugar drinks. Also, try low-calorie gatorade. The ones with 5g Sugar and 5g Carb. I would HIGHLY recommend, since you said you don’t like milk, try this protein shake: http://www.designerwhey.com/designer-whey/. It tastes delicious and it also fills you up.

water maker answers:

You need to choose juices that have 100% juice and no added sugar. Several “healthy” juices out on the market are juice cocktails, meaning there is added sugar and added calories. Make sure you steer clear of these. You can also check out your local health food or natural food store and get freshly juiced juices.

If you’re not big on juices but want some pizazz to your water you can try some Crystal Light individual pouches that you add to your water bottle. These are fairly low in calories.

water maker answers:

All types of community service look good for colleges. You can always show that you can improve your own area and branch out once at the school of your choice.

Why don’t you go on a fun, inexpensive shopping trip and pick up nice shower gels, soaps, lotions, cute clothes, cosmetics…basically anything that any female would like. Box it all up and mail it to your local women’s shelter.

You could also buy a package of unisex bar soap like Ivory and distribute it to homeless people in your town. Make sandwiches, bring along some bottled water, and feed the homeless!

Or, save a life and donate blood!

Oh, and donate your used toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shower gel, and soap)! I was thinking that you might want to check out Clean The World ( http://www.cleantheworld.org ) and perhaps send the remnants of your used toiletries to them via Central Care Mission. I’m a big fan of fun bath products, but any that don’t suit my fancy, or the last bits of the soap bars, get sent to them to help prevent disease and death in Third World countries.

Thanks, and have a great day!

You are not set up with a crime lab.
I would cancel the water bottle service in favor of getting a water filter that attaches to the faucet… A lot cheaper.
Hold a house meeting and tell them what is happening and why the water bottle service has been canceled. Let someone else buy the bottled water if they want it.

You should also consider hitting the hardware store to pick up a couple of replacement doorknobs with keyed locks… One for your bedroom door and the other for your closet door. Wear the only keys around your neck.

It sounds like you have a bunchload of extended family that have invaded. At some point, you and your mother need to sit down with all these extra people and tell them they need to be making plans to launch out of there… And issue a firm move-out date they must be out by, followed by forcible eviction by a sheriff’s deputy.
I would also stop the cable TV service and pare-down on purchasing groceries to make them step up and pay their own way.
Keep your favorite snacks locked in your closet.

How is this a question?

Also, their stomachs are not filled with air. It is a disease caused by vitamin K deficiency called kwashiokor.

water maker answers:

Wind is in abundant supply and can be accessed virtually anywhere in the world.

Water – that is, usable water – is getting in shorter and shorter supply. 96% of the world’s water is found in the oceans and is highly saline (salty).

Ground water, fresh water lakes, and rivers account for another 3.5% approx. Ultimately 99.5% of all the water on earth is not easily available for human and animal consumption.

The World Health Organization (info on their website) sees a coming crisis in the world’s access to usable, drinkable, potable water. It is one of the greatest needs currently for third world nations… And then there’s all that watering of golf course greens… (I digress… I love golf – it’s a guilty pleasure as an environmentalist!)

So – even though there are about 6.1 Billion people on the planet (and growing) – there are already over 1 Billion without access to potable water meaning dealing with diarrhea, schistosomiasis, or trachoma, or infestation with ascaris, guinea worm, or hookworm… All associated with poor drinking water and inadequate sanitation.

Wind power is the cleanest energy to produce and the only quibble some may have is the death of birds from the windmills – BUT – there are far more deaths in one country from powerlines than there would be if the whole world full of the wind turbines required.

See below for an AMAZING, comprehensive study as to why Wind turbines are best and Ethanol is worse than the gasoline of today. I am now a Wind-Energy convert and have ditched my prior long-standing preference for Ethanol and bio-diesel fuels. I hope this study gets the attention it deserves because Ethanol will be a bigger air polluter than gasoline.

Again, wind turbines = the cleanest energy possible without the misperceived fears that nuclear energy can convey.

Sounds like quite the challenge,,and thanks for being there, mom. Perhaps think of the pilgrims in America,, the way they worked together, pooled resourses, and the evolution of the U.S. Constitution, based on liberty, for all, yet , justice. I would explain a plausable supply of breathable air, cultivation of fish, and sea plants,,( strech the imagination, to include something like under water corn??), maybe trained dolphins for transportation?( but, to where?) Housing would need to be addressed, as well as employment, services like gabage disposal. Elections, law enforcement,,everything we have here, would need to be addressed. Dam,,glad it is not me, with this challenge! Sponge bob square pants for mayor?? Hope you will give her some hints, about society,,but,, I am sure the idea is to get her to think on her own!!

I was watching This Old House last night in the wee hours of the morning and they were putting in a septic system in an old house. They have systems that don’t have to be put underground and the one they put in is a complete processing system that takes in your leavings and by the end of the process the water is drinkable. I’m sure they are expensive but there are many choices and most of the better ones add air to the bacteria so that it all processes quickly. I’m sure all of these are online.

Its global warming (notice lowercase). Whether we as a species are involved or not, the earth is slowly getting hotter. There is a documented increase of the average temperature of a few degrees a year. This is reeking havoc in the poles as the ice is melting and animals are getting overheated (like penguins).

The solution (in my mind) is to stop polluting the air, water and earth in general and switch to safe, renewable, biodegradable, forms of energy. Hydrogen can power scooters, golf carts and even cars, and the only by-product is clean, pure, drinkable water. As for electricity, between hydro-electric sources, solar panels and wind turbines in respective locations, can supply all the energy needed.

water maker answers:

No, rain water is not distilled at all. It has all the pollutants that are in the air, and on your roof.
To distill water, you’d have to heat it to vaporize it, then condense it through cooling. Then you collect the condensation into a pure surface.
The vinegar/water mix you are referring to is to make some sort of water drinkable, but not pure.
