  4. Here’s something that will blow your mind. Most U.S. water systems have internet-based logic controllers. And a large number of them use NO PASSWORDS OR DEFAULT PASSWORDS.

    Yeah. Public water systems ready for the hacking. Which came to light because there are signs of attacks. Enough of them that CISA had to issue a warning to all water facilities, recommending they disconnect them or actually use a fucking password.

    CNN cites about 30 water systems were attacked this week, with six other states having reported related cyber incidents. A security expert in the water sector said “the scale and coordination of the recent cyberattacks targeting Minnesota water suppliers is unprecedented.”

  9. UPDATE 3: This group has done this before — ten Israeli water treatment stations, same playbook. RESOLUTION NOTES: There are none. You still have internet-facing PLCs.

    Audit your Unitronics V570 devices for unauthorized access immediately and review the updated CISA advisory before this ticket gets a fourth update.

    Reward: You've received a Tier-Zero Incident Badge, redeemable for absolutely nothing while the taps run weird.

  11. 100-Year-Old Way to Filter #Rainwater in a Barrel

    by Linda Holliday
    February 25, 2015

    "During our boiling, broiling, blistering summer of 2012 here in the Missouri Ozarks, water was a topic of conversation wherever we went. Creeks and ponds dried up (some never recovered) and the water table dropped, forcing a few neighbors to have their well pumps lowered or to even have deeper wells drilled.

    "Many folks shared memories of rain barrels, cisterns, hand pumps and drawing water with a well bucket as a child, usually on grandpa and grandma’s farm. Some said they’d never want to rely again on those old-time methods of getting water. But, at least they knew how it was done.

    "It seems we have lost much practical knowledge in the last 50 or so years because we thought we’d never need it again. Now we are scrambling to relearn those simple know-hows.

    "A tattered, 4-inch thick, 1909 book I happily secured for $8 in a thrift store reveals, among umpteen-thousand other every-day skills, how to make homemade water filters. The instructions in 'Household Discoveries and Mrs. Curtis’s Cookbook' are quite basic as everyone had a rain barrel back then and presumably knew how to clean the water. Now, 104 years later, I am thankful the authors had the foresight to preserve their knowledge for us, and pointed out that rainwater collected in barrels from a roof is a necessity in some locations, but also is best for laundry and 'often more wholesome for drinking purposes than hard water.' "

  12. US #EPA - #SoakUpTheRain Program for #NewEngland: #RainBarrels

    Last updated on January 13, 2026

    "Rain barrels capture water from a roof and hold it for later use such as on lawns, gardens or indoor plants. Collecting roof runoff in rain barrels reduces the amount of water that flows from your property. It's a great way to conserve water and it's free water for use in your landscape.

    Many cities and towns distribute rain barrels to residents through annual sales. Other sources include online retailers, local home and garden supply stores. Cisterns are also used to 'harvest' rain water. With a greater storage capacity they may be located above or below ground.

    Note: Remember that as rain water flows over a roof surface it can pick up pollutants such as bacteria from birds and other animals, and chemicals from roof materials - factors to consider when thinking about using rain barrel water on edible plantings.

  13. #Cistern #WaterSystems: How They Work and Why They’re Useful

    By Robert Maxwell
    Updated on Sep. 26, 2025

    "Has your interest in alternative water systems made you ask, what is a cistern? Read on to learn about this ancient way to store and supply water.

    The basic idea of a cistern water system, which collects and stores water in or near a home, goes back centuries. In some parts of #WesternAsia, archeologists discovered lime plaster cisterns in the floors of houses that were at least 5,000 years old. Ancient #Romans also used cisterns beneath their houses to catch, filter and store #rainwater.

    A cistern is a closed tank, somewhat like a septic tank, but the similarities end there. Instead of sewage, it collects rainwater for household use or irrigation. A home with a well might have a large tank to store water to prevent the well pump from having to work all the time. In some cases, you could consider that tank a cistern, but according to longtime plumber Danny Pen, most cisterns are buried."
