Korea is regarded as a "water-stressed nation." Although the country receives an annual precipitation of approximately 1,300mm, it is characterized by concentrated periods and specific regions, thereby giving rise to challenges stemming from water scarcity. The lack of drinking water extends beyond mere inconvenience, posing life-threatening implications for certain individuals.

Thanks for the calculations.

0.00877m³ = 8.77l which is about as big as a 10l bucket. Not that big. That would be for the drinking water of 2.4 people. I imagine for the entire water consumption of 2.4 people, it would be way more.

For people living in the desert though, if this is low to no maintenance, it does seem possible. Buy once, use forever.
