I hope domestic needs includes drinking.

Please don’t drink rain water. It’s not safe for human consumption. Plants will be ok, you will not be.

I mean… you know we have filtration technology right?

You don’t drink raw water out of an unclear well or even clear river either bruh

Of course.

How many people in Gaza right now have access to a reverse osmosis filter?

Oh in that case I’m sure they would all prefer to die of dehydration instead of drinking slightly contaminated rainwater.

Because it must be equally as bad as all the sewage ground water.

You can distill water with a hole in the ground, a tarp, a coffee can, and a small stone to hold down the center of the tarp.

You can distill your urine this way if it comes to that.

Simply boiling the water is enough to kill most harmful microorganisms that might be in the water.

Of course it is safe. It can contain dust and other particles (nowadays mainly some PFAS), but rainwater itself is quite safe.

Of course if you collect it from your gutters it’s probably dirty from the crap on your roof.
