Roof catchments are popular in Southeast Alaska where it rains a lot. You need a big tank and a good filtration system.

When I was a kid, many people who lived around Flathead Lake got their water from a pipe that they ran out into the lake bottom a few hundred feet. I don't think that would work anymore, as there is too much boat traffic and too many risk factors.

Southeast Alaska communities still use the tidal zone as a sewage dump, usually piping it down there. Tenakee Springs still has some outhouses that just plop down on the water. The tidal volume is so great there doesn't seem to be any residual at all.
