Yo1 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 The dams upriver on the Lerma are holding water for the hot, dry time in Apr and May so the farmers have irrigation water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 I have never been more grateful for my new minisplit that heats as well as cools. Best winter ever! "I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I've got my plastic... minisplit". Heat in May and June? Bring it ON! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Many people in CDMX are without water, same here in San Cristobal in Chiapas, the dam near Morelia is very low, we should be thankful for every drop of water we get .. Just try getting up and turning on the tap and nothing.. it is pretty awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 We should not only be thankful for every drop of water, we should be actively conserving water at every opportunity. I want to collect rain water run off from my roof to be able to use it in my garden. Actually finding the proper containers (with the hardware) is proving to be very difficult. Has anyone seen any locally or in Guadalajara? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What hardware? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmh Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 In San Cristobal where we lack water Sapam said that 38 % of the water delivered is wasted.. via tap, toilets, tinaco leaks... talking about awful and they complain about Cocacola using a huge amount of water but plenty of people do not have tinaco with shutoff valves and as the water is delivered at night only the tinacos overflow on the streets on a regular basis.. How big of a container to you need for rain water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one in Guadalajara last summer... if you could have caught it. 😉 https://jalopnik.com/watch-a-water-tank-terrorize-the-flooded-streets-of-gua-1850768263 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 There are quite a number of them available but in Monterrey. A google search will give you an idea... with a filter at the top to keep out debris and mosquitoes and a tap at the bottom to which you attach a hose. Basically tall cylinders that don't occupy a lot of space. Tinaco vertical tricapa (600/800/1000 litros)... and Tlaloc has the same configuration... https://aquaforte.mx/ https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-2875313300-captador-de-agua-de-lluvia-_JM#position=25&search_layout=grid&type=item&tracking_id=c0481473-af2f-44b0-940d-5be9c71b37b6 This might do the trick but they are a lot smaller and I wasn't that impressed with the reviews of leaks at the seam... https://www.amazon.com.mx/EJWOX-Barriles-exteriores-colección-recogedor/dp/B0BW2884S9/ref=sr_1_29?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1aQdBFBV6LvWo0G0Uatn81wEdqUt2FZQO4b9YLE9VKINZDd65V2dAbqW-DD_j7ddjNHy7fw1_sBLgAxJirP1RxrdH3dhbczDym8p0ZjU5QpiqTO1QmmTTKh0o5arrwkYv5i2OqEekPLWA_m9kOS1cMTU48y4RCu5h0xskIfyKG9SMDeJq_vm57cREGB-qwgy4i-p9CWOFDVQzTS-eeKjy3aJHGV6tuEnAfVes0XMNY5L7afRNRVcIUPtYQjBGPSUtUKSM1uE5dm3gotVYO_SDkSTR1HrN59X2II0Bcav3n0.c1wk3OGi7vQGDDK3m9YGb-H1Vha1SYfqT9Cjqgjof3I&dib_tag=se&keywords=coleccion+de+lluvia&qid=1708173614&sr=8-29&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.4e545b5e-1d45-498b-8193-a253464ffa47 This is the newer version but has no reviews... https://www.amazon.com.mx/EJWOX-Barriles-colección-resistente-exteriores/dp/B0CRY34LC9/ref=sr_1_18?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gaEhALIH4iOG8hTwCzxQaKCS1MM1rCs5N6FL71jYSzQzv8F70YJZhrcQA-_LIzKVB2_4qlmVs_vo1la4aLu9QUlWLwTehq4SsRjMm27uH8PJgnelqjgQgFm_KP3i6FKTWQYKK55jgQ1DNWL91kiDrYue8qs_GZ9KNmXALm7y5zEaiknXRQuJkOxBaM7xvK9MsSwUONpSI4TznVSmb64FzJ2bJ0J-gGrLKOpwlZCbNADoqOwCflH85Py_HMco01AYQ67O5OKzrBXxcsCmvZpUF8ulaEv6iA_C7koDjdPYP74.em1_BuMRMVASLDHYYzZrEeOd1-Yn1wp10C6dgNonPO4&dib_tag=se&keywords=EJWOX&qid=1708130208&sr=8-18&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.a9e70178-7411-4f75-8d83-e6796a165895 Maybe these (100 gallon) but I've read that these "collapsible" rain barrels can, indeed, collapse... https://www.amazon.com/Rain-Barrel-Collection-System-Gallon/dp/B0C4THRNL7/ref=sr_1_113_sspa?crid=1SQK6FIG8EUVB&keywords=rainwater%2Bcollection%2Bsystem&qid=1708131285&sprefix=rainwater%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-113-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGY&th=1 Sigh. This is to fit under a staircase to the roof and probably far more information than anyone asked for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
