Berkley, CA : Ulysses Press, [2015] ©2015. 216 pages ; 18 cm. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 203-204) and index. Even non-preppers need water -- Dehydration can be deadly -- Toxins in municipal water supplies -- Water-related illnesses -- A glimpse at everyday life without running water -- Creating a water plan -- Storing water -- Acquiring water -- Testing your water -- Purifying water -- Finding emergency sources of water -- Sanitation -- Water conservation. Humans can survive up to three weeks without food, but only around three days without water! Of all the resources needed after a catastrophe strikes -- food, heat, electricity, communication, transportation -- none are as important as simple water. While a substantial supply should be stored, water's size and weight make storage impractical for long-term survival. Therefore it's equally critical to know how to acquire and purify additional water supplies over time. This guide addresses all of these factors and more with instruction anyone can follow. Suitable for novice and expert preppers alike. Storage is the first area covered including details on types of containers, where to store them, and how to avoid contamination -- from basic bottles to large tanks. The author follows with real-world applications for harvesting water from every possible source including digging a well, collecting rain, and purifying lake and river water. 20200102. Survivalism.
