Much thanks. I have a decent collection on construction, gardening, livestock, and practical trades, but lean on surveying and ground water. Also have the Foxfire series which is great.

Firefox series, third shelf down, leftmost bookcabinet, right hand side. I could find it in the dark. Great series, but take it with a grain of salt. They leave out a lot of important detail.

'Living on 5 acres' is good, too, but leaves out important details.

Hydrology tends to be fairly specialized. Any AG college should have old textbooks for sale. But an average American can get by on 35 gallons of sanitized water a day, and boiling, chlorinating, or filtering the water shouldn't be a big step for someone with some smarts and a little education.

You don't want to know the details of what kind of water I cooked with in Alaska, while with the military. It was good and safe, when we finished, but I tried not to think of where it came from.

Boiling surface or sub-surface water is always an option, if you can't drill 160-400 ft and run a well.

Always pour boiled drinking water between two containers for a few minutes to re-oxygenate it and make it more palatable.
