• Catch from buildnings, structures, hard

• Store on land: barrels, ponds, cisterns
• Store in plants & soil
• Store at highest potential spot
• Use at highest potential level
• ” move as long as possible, be used as many
times as possible, get in contact with as many
elements as possible, over as long time as
possible”
