Ways to find water

[Authentic]

I was out and about on foot yesterday, and when doing this I often see things that can't be easily observed from behind a wheel.

First, there was a woman in business dress with a baby in a stroller holding a sign at an intersection and near a gas station reading "Single mom, please help".

I went and accomplished my mission and while returning saw an unattended shopping cart in the same place as the single mom was with her stroller.

Alarmed, I quickly started looking for her, since the cart was covered with a couple of towels and I feared that I had misidentified the cart for a stroller and a baby was inside!

I saw a shirtless man at the gas pumps filling a water bottle with the water you can use to clean your windshield and connected him with the cart.

I continued my journey and found the single mother who had moved herself and baby to a potentially more lucrative spot.

Where would you find water when the SHTF?

Water infrastructure brought to you by Democrats.

So yeah, there are a lot of blue States. What would we do for water? I live by the Rio Grande River but I'm not sure drinking directly from the river is the best option.

Back on my Grandparents farm as a kid..

Neighbor down the road could take a Metal Coat Hanger find Water..

Actually he was about 50/5O in "Accuressy" nonetheless when my Grandparents wanted buy another 50 /100 Acres" expand the herd and grazing..

His Coat Hanger found em a "Well" on that property although my Grandpa paid "Thousands " have it Drilled & Tapped. ..

But the Cows Needed a "Drink" or ain't giving fresh "Milk" everyday

Ironically the "Bottom" fell outta Dairy soon after Grandpa sold the herd to a Slaughter House then got into Corn & Soybeans when prices were Sky High that Time

Purchase Water purifying tools. And maybe some Iodine tablets. \

No big challenge.

Our drinking water comes from 2 nearby lakes. Plus I have 5 rain barrels. And yes I know how to purify the water.

Less than a mile there is a river. I have filters good enough to make it safe to drink. I have a utility E-bike that I can use to carry the river water home. Got 83 gallons of water bricks to carry it in.

Sometimes there's water in a drainage ditch across the street. I can filter that too but I'd prefer to run it through reverse osmosis equipment if I can collect enough. Two thirds of what I put through the equipment will be waste water. Then there is the well and the pump.

If I can't use the RO system, I'll filter and run it through a UV sterilizer.

Good to keep around. in my backpack or saddlebags, I carry them in the wild along with a water purifier ( it's small equipment) ... If needed I can drink cleaned urine. Anywhere near a water puddle of any type becomes potable.
