“Water can be boiled or stored in advance, while bleach and iodine are useful in killing pathogens like Giardia lamblia in fresh water. But that’s a lot of work to decontaminate your water...”

Why is this a lot of work? Seems pretty easy and cheap too. Why don’t more people store water this way, instead of buying it? Honest question...
