This might be due to the fact that the rainwater, when seen collected or flowing, has a considerable amount of dirt materials in it. Furthermore, it is believed that the surfaces on which rain falls and flows is not free from contaminants and thus it is not possible to obtain rainwater safe for use especially for drinking or cooking.
