Clean your own water.

Dip water from most any source, even roadside pits. Filter it through a cloth to get the big debris and if further straining is needed, run it through a coffee filter. Then to each gallon add a few drops of Clorox and let it stand over night. The amount of Clorox to use can be found using Google. I have the amount information written on a Clorox bottle with a Marks-a-Lot, but I’m not home to check it.

Household bleach in the common plastic container has a limited shelf-life - the chlorine molecules come out of suspension and are tiny enough to pass through the pores in the plastic...

If you’re storing bleach long-term for survival purposes, transfer it to canning jars, or other tight-sealing glass containers.... (Metal, not so much - chlorine is extremely active, and will corrode metal...)
