As an expert in environmental health, I can tell you that drinking rainwater is not typically recommended without proper treatment. While rainwater is generally pure when it first falls, it can pick up contaminants as it travels through the atmosphere and onto rooftops or other collection points. These contaminants can include bacteria, viruses, pollutants, and even bird droppings. To make rainwater safe for drinking, it should be filtered and treated to remove these impurities.

��Water from the roof may not be safe to drink but where safe rainwater collection systems have been put in place, water collected may be drunk without being boiled. All one has to do is to leave it to settle, remove pollutants [such as dust] before drinking,�� Kaahwa says.
