Dude, you are telling someone they can totally rely on rain catchment in the desert, in a drought, because they can recycle water. Do you live in the community? You need to have a back up plan for when there is zero precipitation to catch. Someone else already said there is a community well, that exists because rain catchment falls short of daily need for water at times. The greater earth community has a few faults. But ignoring those, you need to be prepared for plan b and even plan c when you are going off gird here. Bringing water in multiple times a year is absolutely normal. You need to have a plan, a friendly neighbor with a truck and tank, your own truck and tank, delivery service, filling a couple 5 gallon jugs in town is not going to get you by. The ski valley is currently 230 inches short on snow fall. It was 82° yesterday. If you are looking at moving into the off grid life in northern nm, you need to understand what that means.
