I have filled about 20 gallons of water lately out of tap... I get rural water here in my small town, instead of city water (which rural water is MUCH better). Will that be okay? I store half in the fridge, the other half in a cool location in my home. Should I buy a filter system for my sink...

Everyone thinks about storing adequate food rations, ammo, guns and medicine..but one VERY important thing which isn't given much attention is water purification & storage. Water is the one basic resource we all cannot live without, so WHY wouldn't it be your number one concern? I know you...

For those that have a water source on your property. Like a lake or stream that doesn't require a pump. Does it affect your preps of water? Do you store less because of the ready source outside your home? Storing only drinking water? Thanks

I was getting work done on wifes car and at the store they had a National Geograpgic magazine and the title was something like "Our need for water" or something along those lines. If anyone on here has the magazine maybe they can be more specific. So, there was a page and it explained that now...

Ok most of us know the basics to prepping but when it comes to water?, for the people with wells, they will have water, but what about the city folks or suburban America with city water. Just a thread here..... How much would ONE person need to survive for a year?:rolleyes:

Here's the scenario - I have a small garage with a lot in it. I'm going to clear enough space for 2 55-gal plastic barrels of water. Couple of questions: 1. Anyone know the best place in southern CA to get plastic barrels, or is there a better water storage option/system that I haven't...
