True about the Water Discipline, but after years of camping where I have to haul the water back the camp and now living in the Desert southwest, you learn.

Now my water storage is not my only water plan, I have filters and such so I can go out and retrieve water and clean it, but living somewhere with a serious lack of easily access able water does cause a serious concern and problems in a prepper’s plans.

As we’ve discussed, water is my main concern as well. I have been looking into the solar pumping systems. Low flow compared to AC, but sufficient for drinking and cooking needs. Also, some claim to be able to work down to 500’.

I just did some research on the plastic water storage tanks from 1500 gal to 2500 gal.

I have a friend in NM that collects rain water in two 1500 gallon tanks and uses that in her greenhouse.

Those, suprisingly, are fairly inexpensive for the amount of water they store and their projected lifetime. And they protect the water from contaminiation.
