Девушке этой огромное СПАСИБО!!! Я жил в 60 годах в Смородничном возле Сангар. Сразу вспомнил про добычу воды, строганину, рыбу с душком, кусковой сахар, сгущенка в 3 л банках. Строили дома из пластов снега, резали ножовками, приносили свечки и сидели там Терли друг другу щеки снегом когда появлялись белые пятна признак обморожения. Стояли всем поселком на берегу нашей ЛЕНЫ весной любовались ледоходом . Отец откалывал нам сосульки с.чистых льдин и никто ангиной не болел. Помню как собирали и ели ягоду всякую . Брусника в бочке была заморожена ковыряли кинжалом . Самое лучшее время жизни детство

In Hawaii we collect rainwater from the roof. We pipe it from the roof to a 45500 litre tank. We pump it from the tank into the house. It is filtered three times. The smallest filter stops anything bigger than 5 microns. Then an ultraviolet light sterilizeses it. It rains 350cm per year, where our house is. It is in the rainforest, but some areas on this island get three times that much rain. We never run out of water.

This is almost like seeing another planet compared to where I live. Thanks for showing us a part of your life

Here in Northern Finland we have either water from the lake or deep ground wells both using an electric water pump and pressure tank. Today is -31.C so in these temperatures the underground water pipe needs a heating cable to stop the water freezing up. Our ground well has such clean water as it filters through ancient sand banks that were once part of river systems after the ice-age.

Her voice is so soothing. Smooth and soothing.

I have never thought about how water gets into the places I've lived. The work you have to do to maintain a water supply in your home is amazing to me.

Your voice is so soothing its ASMR to me

Really like these videos where you record yourself speaking a quiet, relaxing narration seperately over the footage of what's happening. So relaxing and informative

The sound of the ice hitting the water, that sounds so cool. Reminds me of water splashing on hot oil.

Today I am blessed with the water in my house, I don't need to go anywhere. But I used to take water from a small river almost everyday when I was a little girl, it was a long walk and I had 2 galons (5kilo each) on each each hands. Only difference is we lived in hot weather and I loved it. I can't imagine living in a cold. you guys are amazing

Where I'm from, Georgia (Sakartvelo), many people living in villages don't have running water. A couple years back, when I'd visit my cousins (Kakheti region), the adults would give all 3 of us 2 bottles each and we had to walk approx. 3/5 mile to get to the Tskaro (clean water running nonstop in a faucet) and collect water to drink. We'd do this once or twice a day. We used to boil water in big pots to wash ourselves. The running tap water at home couldn't be used to drink.

When I'd visit my grandparents in another village of the same region, they'd have an old tank you'd have to fill which had a drainer on the bottom, and every time you pressed up on that drainer, water would come out. We'd wash our hands and face with that. To bath, we'd heat up water there, too. There was no tap water here at all and, naturally, we collected drinking water from the Tskaro.

When visiting my other relatives in a different region (Shida Kartli) they had running water both for washing your hands and face and to drink, but here, too, water needed to be collected and boiled to wash yourself.

Experiencing all of these a couple times a year, I'd really appreciate the comfort of running drinking AND showering water when I'd get back home to the Capital - Tbilisi. Being used to this comfortable lifestyle of not having to work hard to simply drink water and shower, watching you guys do all of this helps me appreciate the basic life necessities that my parents provide for me. Much respect to you people! I know I wouldn't be able to last in these conditions for more than a week. I hope one day, very soon, you guys will be provided with running water and I hope many of my country's smaller villages will have this comfort, too. Sending blessings from Sakartvelo, Caucasia!

I feel that to live in Yakutia you need multiple people at home for help. One needs a lot of physical strength to do daily tasks.

I'm in rural Australia and I am catching rain water from my shed roofs and bucketing it into my house as needed.
Our water is heated on a wood stove (which is our only source of heating and cooking) and we wash in a small basin.
I spend a lot of my time each day splitting wood and carrying water, so I appreciate the effort that goes into these most basic necessities.

I live in Delhi in India, we get 4 hours of water supply for the day (2 in morning and 2 in evening) and have overhead tanks to store the supply for the day. We use Reverse Osmosis water treatment unit at home for making this water potable !
