a
water tank takes in water and lets it out again
what goes in may be slightly soiled
the outlet however can deliver purer water
because the sediment remains
the other day after it rained very heavily I filled up the tank
this was a bad time
the water was particularly silty
just because there is a lot of water rushing at you
doesn't mean you have to take it on board
I could have waited until the water levels subsided and were back to a normal pace
but because there was such a quantity coming down the river
I thought it must have been good
so then the tank was filled with dirty water
with more than the usual sediment which settles
muddy
when the washing came out
it was gritty
there was nothing really clean about that water
despite the beautiful fresh rain that fell
too much volume brought too little quality
so I had to replace the water in the tank
easier to say than to do
each new litre of clean merely mixed with old sedimentary water
like clay cordial
so this called for special treatment
obviously we could not continue with that poor quality water
I emptied the tank as much as possible
except there is always a section below the outlet designed to actually catch sediment
well I tell you ,this time it really caught a sediment
thick
all the water above the outlet had been let out as unusable
but what was left was far worse
but by applying smaller quantities of perfectly clear water into the tank
and at the same time having the bottom outlet open and pouring its murk onto the ground
eventually the water became clearer and clearer
until it was as clear as the water going in at the top
never again shall I take in such a valuable resource
just because it was rushing at me abundantly
it
should be accepted only according to my need
and it should be pure!
