FRESH water. It's a lake. Maybe 40 quadrillion is an exaggeration, but with Berkey filtration, our fresh water supply is effectively unlimited.
When I think about prep, water is #1, even before lead and brass, although we've pretty much got that covered as well.
I took your 40 quadrillion literally. Since the Atlantic Ocean has under 100 billion gallons, I should have know you were exaggerating.
I agree that water is #1 for prepping. I just decided that in the case of certain types of disasters, I may just die.
Well I’m not sure how humans will ever squeeze water out of hot, dry desert air.

I used to live in the Phoenix metro.
Scottsdale and its environs are loaded with golf courses.
One way to do the “impossible” is to have desalination plants on the Pacific Ocean with pipelines bringing the water to where it is needed.
If CA had most of its water supply coming from those plants that would free up all of the Colorado River for Arizona and Nevada.
