Great to know, thanks for sharing!

Sounds like what we do in Australia

Wow. Impressive and interesting! . Just how do you sterilise that size of tank with uv? I mean, what equipment? . Is the tank stainless steel (or similar metals), reinforced plastic or concrete? . Do you add helpful chemicals like fluoride to the water? Thanks

@@gracieamazing2076 not op but... answers. 1. You don't sterilize the tank, you sterilize the water in the pipe as it's going through. Just think of it as a water filter and one of the filters also uses UV light. You could buy one for your home on amazon, not really that expensive, a couple hundred dollars. 2. Yep, any or all, mostly plastic these days I would think. 3. depends on the person/collector. Individuals usually don't but some systems catch for a whole building or village and they usually do.

​ @Gracie Amazing The UV sterilization light does not go in the tank. It is in a canister that the water flows through after it first flows through the three filters. The canister is made of stainless steel, and is about 10cm (4 inches) in diameter, and about 75cm long (30 inches.) The water travels the length of the canister to get exposed to the UV light. Inside the length of the canister is a quartz glass sleeve, containing a 20 watt fluorescent UV tube. The large diameter of the canister assures that the flow is slow enough that the water, and anything in it, is exposed to the UV radiation for long enough to denature any pathogens. The quartz glass is needed because other glasses block UV light. At our house the tank is made out of reinforced concrete, called ferrocement. Much more common is a steel tank with a rubber liner; much like an above ground pool, but with a cover. It is becoming increasingly common to have several smaller plastic tanks connected together to get the capacity needed. To get a discount on insurance for the it is required to have more than 45500 litres (10,000 US gallons.) This large amount is to supply firefighting efforts, if ever needed. I do add chlorine to the tank every three or four months. This really isn't needed since we have the UV light. However, it is a belt and braces approach to the safety of the water. If one method fails we are kept safe by the other. I do this because the tropics are warm. Bacteria and other biological hazards grow very well here. Having the concrete tank helps with that too. It keeps sunlight from penetrating into the tank. This prevents algae growth. We use fluoride containing mouth wash because it is not in the water.

Video plz!

Finns and Yakuts (Sakha) share the same ancestors, descended from a single same male ancestor 6600 years ago :)

Lithuania - deep ground borehole 50 m in depth, water from ancient layers of ground made by glaciers (not rains or rivers), waterline is buried 2.2 m under ground (below freezing point) and insulated - no need for heating cable, no worries even if -40 C (record in our country was -43 C). In your case water line should be ~3 or 3.5 m under ground...super clean and fresh water (~10K years old from ice age) - not a rain water, 0% pollution !!!! Collecting ice is such a medieval technology, though charming :)

👍🏼We too have an older well, hand dug before 1920 and with very tasty clean water, in Northern Minnesota USA. It's brought into the house by an electric pump in our basement, through a pipe buried below the typical frost line and encased in a larger PVC pipe to help prevent freezing. Our coldest winter temp in past 20 years was -40° F/C and all was good. 😎✌🏼

@@MFrrFrr there was a russian merchant in 19 century in Yakutsk, Shergin was his surname. He came here from Khabarovsk (if i remember correctly). And he tried to dig a well. Though he was aware of existing of permafrost but he thought it would be maximum 10 meters. So he made a 60m deep hole in his backyard and then surrendered. Then he was funded by russian science academy to dig it deeper and record temperature in different layers. So Shergin made another 100 m in deep. Today it's a part of museum. It's called "shakhta Shergina", or "Shergin's mine". Nowadays we knows that thickness of permafrost are about 200-250 m in Yakutsk area. And up to 1300 m near Suntar (west of Yakutia).

It's off the charts, I can't believe it!

Building own space stations needs more silver than crypto..buy silver silver nitrate is used for rocket fuels and in electronics. Cheap electronics are making without using silver and causes pollution

Yes indeed and lazy peoples like us cant survive in yakutia for one its verrrry cold and two its hard life from daily chores to work its impossible at least for me

like in older times; everyone has a chore. the age & strength determines that chore. it's how we survived as families & communities. Now most people are self-sufficient because of modern machines .. it's interesting to see communities still together for survival.

I agree, it takes a village. 😊

Mountain people in the Andes still have that cooperative, collective outlook. It's wonderful to witness.

Not only physical strength but mental and emotional too. I don’t think I could ever live In a place like that. Nothing about that place sounds appealing in any way shape or form

Joseph....Don't feel bad, most people have no idea how they get their water. I'm a plumber and I have worked in aa lot of different environments, The further you get from civilisation the more you tend to know how you water is brought to you. Most in cities just accept that they turn on the tap and hey presto, water comes out It is fun finding out how different people solve a basic problem of water transportation and usage

Yeah me too. I only know that water in the house comes from the tap. Except when we camp out, we get water from the stream.

Dont worry america will melt those pesky ice for you in the coming months.

yes you are

I bet you didn’t do a single thing due to being motivated by the video

Thanks for sharing! I believe physical work makes people stronger in all ways.

@@LifeinYakutia Oh, without a doubt it does. Whether it’s the effort of keeping water supplys for the winter or “just” get up and go to work, hard work does have a positive influence on life. That’s also the reason for city people doing work out and riding bicycles. You just feel good after having worked hard. I have tap water as well, and doesn’t have to have a water supply like you do, but I guess that it’s just a matter of what you’re used to. It’s just as common for you to store ice as it is for me to open the tap for a glass of water.

Dont try this if you live in a mobile home (common here). sending water down the drain is fine, but water going down the drain a drip at a time will freeze and plug up your drain pipes.

Ok.. my friend.. but where do you live.. in which country are youuu ?

В Якутии земля замерзает больше 2-2,5 метров) там почти вечная мерзлота)

Sweden is gorgeous. lovely people too. Super polite and friendly. I really enjoyed picking lingam berries in the forest there.

In Yakutia bacteria cannot live, even if you guys purified water in Turkey the result not more purified than water in Yakutia. There's no salmonela, theres no e-coli what else you want to purify. + Even if you ate raw food without cooked first you wont get sick.

@@codenameeaglecooldown900 of course, I meant purifying water is a healthier choice than non purified water we drink here. I didn't compare Yakutsk's water and our water.

Hi. Wow. Please make a video about life in a boat. That sound so interesting.

You did notice that her family boils the river ice water before drinking it, right?

@@suzaynnschick158 yes, I did. But even so, it’s still very clean. I don’t know where you live but can you imagine drinking the water from the Chicago river? Or any river that flows through a major city. Even after boiling… it’s just so disgusting to think about.

@@madmattdigs9518 yes, i agree! I live in NY, 15 mins over the bridge into Manhattan. I cannot imagine drinking the water from the Hudson river 🤢🤢🤢. LoL

in Russia we have polluted rivers near industrial areas mostly, but even in Moscow swimming and fishing in the suburb is not restricted. when the navigation is stopped during winter you probably can drink water after boiling

I'm excited to see it, too!

Me too (from Finland too 😊)

Me as well! From Alaska.

There are people in the USA doing similar things with similar weather. Unless you don’t consider Alaska as part of the USA?

ive never been to uk but something tells me life in uk is overall much easier than in yakutia

We Indians are so fortunate to get water so easily and reckless to waste it.

Can’t flush the toilet? Just pee in the back yard. Where in the Rockies do you live? I’m in Colorado.

Same but living in Canada

@General Von Bock So yeah but even then the septage from the tank must go to a Disposal facility. Yatuksk may have that, but the area is large. How would the tank contents (in the truck) be kept from freezing? Here in NH as in most temperate or frigid temperature regimes, some heat would/might be needed to keep tanks or valves thawed. Trucks would be parked in a heated area, especially if a load had to be picked up when a dumping facility were not open. Even suction hoses could become too stiff to be manipulated. Wow. One video showed an outhouse with a basic hole in the floor, a "squat hole", which must go into a...hole in the permafrost? Dig a new one each summer? In Alaskan villages the folks might run buckets of...waste...to a dump spot on four wheelers or sleds...but, in the climate of Yatuskia might be impossible.
