I mean... you know we have filtration technology right?

You don't drink raw water out of an unclear well or even clear river either bruh

I slurp it straight out of the gutter, leaves and all.

Cometely unrelated but something is wriggling inside my eyeball.

Of course.

How many people in Gaza right now have access to a reverse osmosis filter?

Oh in that case I'm sure they would all prefer to die of dehydration instead of drinking slightly contaminated rainwater.

You can distill water with a hole in the ground, a tarp, a coffee can, and a small stone to hold down the center of the tarp.

You can distill your urine this way if it comes to that.
