My objective in this weekend's water experiment is not to use no water at all, but to use water as people would have in the 19th century. I will be fully immersed in the 21st century, eg: business as usual, but with some modifications in how I approach water usage. I will be running this experiment over the course of 2 days so that I can compare and contrast different methods of certain tasks, such as bathing, washing dishes, etc. Some of my methods of personal hygiene I have not learned from a book, but by ingenuity in the face of having to carry my water in a bucket for a distance.
I have also learned to recycle my water. When I am out in the field, water from the cooler is drained off and used for other things. I hate to see it go to waste. I will be using recycling in this experiment also.
Lastly, since most of my time will be spent indoors, the amount of water that I drink will be much less than it would be if I were outside. Nevertheless I will be keeping track of that also, even the amount that I drink in other drinks such as juice.
I am looking forward to sharing this with my readers, and I look forward to hearing your comments.
