If you need to
find water outside your home, you can use these sources but
be sure to purify the water by:
· Boiling
· Disinfection
(household liquid bleach: 16 drops/gal. of water, stir & let
stand 30 min.)
· Distillation
(boil 2 pot water & collect the vapor by tying a cup to the
upside down pot lid - the cup shouldn't dangle in the
water--it will condense back to water in the cup)
Sources:
·
Rainwater
·
Streams,
rivers & other moving bodies of water
·
Ponds &
lakes
·
Natural
Springs
How to
Store Water
Store your water
in thoroughly washed plastic, glass, fiberglass or
enamel-lined metal containers. Never use a container that
has held toxic substances. |
