In the Central Valley, we are in a prolonged drought and have had a tremendous shortage of rain. Now that it is the rainy season again, we have water coming from the sky that could be used, if we could only gather and save it. What inexpensive way can you think of to gather, store and be able to use the rain water.
When answering, suggest new and creative ideas and be sure to consider: keeping the water fresh for months at a time, mosquitoes, how much water is needed to water 3 potted plants for one month, how much water would actually make an impact on a typical household.

I would say to get every bucket, bowl, and/or cup, put them outside and when it rains, they will have water in them.

I think we can collect the water with jars and take it somewhere where it can get purified.

One way is about 40-50 people could dig a huge hole in the ground and wait for it to rain so it fills up. Before it rains we could place pipes leading to a neighborhood. There could be one in every neighborhood so everyone could have fresh water.

I think we could save water by putting buckets outside of our houses when it rains. Then purify it.

you can have a storage unit that is made of metal so it doesn't sink into the ground. we should have thousands of these so we save all of water when it rains

Somehow, we can build like a giant funnel, of course we would try to make it as cheep as possible. We can bring all of the water that enters the funnel into a big hole or a empty pool that was already been made. It would take a lot of time, but I heard somewhere that you can boil water to filter it, so we can bring small buckets, or water bottles of water, then boil it to filter it.

a way we can store water is by leaving a bucket so it can capture water, then you can filter it to make it clean
