Investigate off-grid rainwater collection systems

[smlambert]

Some examples, for reference: https://www.instructables.com/Stand-alone-rain-collector/ https://www.grainger.ca/en/product/TARPAULIN-DRAINAGE-CUT-SIZE-5X5FT/p/GGM3ZRU3 https://modernsurvivalblog.com/survival-skills/calculate-gallons-of-rainwater-runoff-from-a-tarp/

We can also do this as a low priority. I believe we will plan to purchase some mobile water tanks to take to sites that can help fill water totes without relying on water services which have a higher cost than we would like to pay.

and an electric water pump

Raymond says he can put a 1000L water tote in a trailer and tow it to sites, and I have procured a water transfer pump to move water from tote to tote. Getting a couple of short hoses to use.

@MartinNesbitt - are we ordering a water tote for use as the "in-trailer" one, that Raymond would use over and above those that will be placed at the new sites?

Given we have a story for filling water totes now, this investigation issue can be closed.

@smlambert I ordered two totes - one for Aviation and one for Riverside. Perhaps we could use extra totes from the farm as they will be kept at the farm.

Perhaps, we will have to check with Moe and also clean them.
