One thing you can learn from ants is that water and waste management are to top priority. Ants react to changes in water faster and more aggressively than food, or enemy ants, or any other problem.

They are constantly moving substrate to manipulate the humidity level of their nest. They are highly sensitive to sudden influxes of water, and yet able to adapt to them better than some human towns.

They are also prepared for water shortages.

Likewise trash management and recycling are key.
