Desalinization
Reverse Osmosis
In the boating world, reverse osmosis machines are also called "watermakers".
Rainwater Harvesting
Rain is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the planet, most of it over the ocean (see wikipedia).
If you ever lived in a tropical country, you quickly learn to espect a daily rain fall between 5 and 6 o'clock of about half an hour. And collecting rain fall is the easy. With a permeable soil, you even have nothing to do.
Post on collecting rain.
