Water Purification: Essentials for Survival

Water is essential for survival, with one gallon per person per day being the minimum requirement. Here's how to ensure a clean and sustainable water supply:

Steps to Purify Water

  1. Use unscented bleach: Add 8 drops per gallon of water and let it sit for 30 minutes.
  2. Boiling: Boil water for 1-3 minutes to eliminate pathogens.
  3. Filtration: Use a portable water filter to remove bacteria and particulates.
  4. Rainwater Collection: Set up a rain barrel system using rooftops and tarps for clean collection.
