Of course, #TFG's comments are unfounded and pie in the sky.
And, OFC he doesn't know it, but in essence, he's actially right about the potential of reclaiming unused #rainfalls, in particular using #AtmosphericRivers weather conditions on the #WestCoast.
There are already some projects of limited scope, apart from #LA:

Continuous #rainfalls over the past several days in central and eastern #Europe have claimed the lives of local residents, triggered evacuations and caused widespread damages and disruptions http://xhtxs.cn/W8F
Heavy rainfalls swept across central, eastern Europe, causing deaths, widespread damages

#Climatechange is making us #sick, literally;
In hundreds of U.S. cities and towns, extreme #rainfalls are overwhelming outdated #sewersystems, #flooding #waterways with untreated #sewage.

...houses this way...
All this passive cooling instead of using A/C would have a huge impact on energy usage.

I reckon that if we could capture and store the #AtmosphericRiver and #Flashflood/#Monsoon-type #rainfalls regionally, that would also be a huge game-changer.
