I suspect puddle drying out is more sensitive to recent prevailing wind than it is to sun arc.
We love war criminals don’t we

I thought boiling water wasn’t a good thing to do. It kills the bacteria yes but the bacteria and other stuff that’s bad for you ultimately break down are still bad for your health just in a different way. I’ve heard that boiling and collecting the condensation was the way to go. Though correct me if I’m wrong. I’m no expert lol.
