What happens when the reservoirs are hacked or polluted? What happens when lines are intentionally cut? What happens when that natural body of water near you is being guarded by armed men with Trump flags? Do you think FEMA will be coming in with trucks?
Recommendations for daily water intake is 3 liters for men and 2 for women.
This is for drinking only. This does not take into account water to dehydrate food, bathing, laundry or water for a garden, pets or livestock.
Another thing to prepare for is no water to flush a toilet. Then what?

There is a ton of info on the web on emergency water storage, filtration and rationing. Everyone should review it and prepare according to their family's needs.
