The most popular way of wasting it seems to be watering the garden excessively although I got through quite of water filling the paddling pool during the summer. Many people added portable hot tubs/pools during covid!

Sell prepaid plans to preppers. For a small monthly fee, we&rsquo;ll keep X gallons of water for you, stocked and ready for delivery via drone if/when the collapse happens.(Mostly just joking, but this might be a decent idea...)
