Damn. I never really thought of it that way. I'm gonna have to look at my deed or whatnot. I can't remember about the mineral right. Probably not though.
And I have to look into the water from the sky issue. I had to install a sub-pump in my backyard to pump out the many thousands of gallons that collects there when it rains real hard. The effluent goes across my front yard and into the street. I want to get a couple 1000 gallon tanks to pump the water into to at least save and use some of it to water my vegetable garden and plants.
I say Carl that you just keep on doing what you're doing. Everyone should self sustain water-wise if they can.
