How To Stockpile All The Water You’ll Ever Need
Image source: arborday.org
Of all the supplies we stockpile for emergencies,storing water is the most difficult. The biggest problem is the sheer volume of water that we need to stockpile in order to ensure that we will have enough to see us through an emergency. We use more water than any other single consumable, meaning that our water storage needs more space than even our food storage, yet most people don’t store enough of it.
Let’s start by looking at how much water the average person needs for survival. Pretty much any survival instructor you find will tell you that the average person needs one gallon of clean, purified water per person, per day for drinking and cooking. That’s fine if you live in a temperate climate. But if you live in the Southwest, in southern Florida or southern Texas, it might not be enough. In the high temperatures and blazing sun of those areas, you can sweat out a gallon per day.
But drinking and cooking aren’t the only ways in which we use water. We use it to wash our clothes, or bodies, our dishes and our homes.
