• Natural Resources are Abundant and Can Be Your Survival
• Nature Provides us with everything we need if we are willing to look.

Make a list of Natural Resources to Provide Emergency Water
• Your Yard• Your Neighbors’ Yards• Close Rivers, streams, lakes
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
Urban Environments provide water to the Crafty
• Any commercial buildings available? Use their spigots.
• Pools• Landscaping Ponds• Bathtubs• Hot Water Heaters• Sinks• Toilets• Wells (not so urban)
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
Advanced Notice of Disasters Can Occur with:
• Thunder Storm Warnings• Blizzard Warnings• Roving Blackouts• Hurricanes and Tornados• Known Rioting
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
How in the World do you think I can get 185 Gallons of water storage that quickly?When you get advanced warning, you can fill everything up.
If you are going to drink any questionable water, then you should always purify and filter it when possible, with a HIGH Quality Filter.

What you should instantly fill up during a strong storm
warning• Fill Up Your Bathtubs
– 60 Gallons Each for Small Tubs• Fill up your sinks
– 2-5 Gallons per sink• Keep your Hot water heater full
– 50-90 Gallons in the tank• Use the Bathroom… What?!
– By doing this, you are clearing your system– Toilets refill with clean water
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
• 2 bathroom sinks at 2 gallons, one basic kitchen sink at 10 gallons, 2 bathtubs at 60 gallons, and a 60 gallon hot water heater: 194 gallons of water– Add 2 5 gallon toilet tanks (don’t drink):
204 gallons• If you have a pool, you are looking
good!– Thousands of gallons
• Hot Tubs? As long as you have a filter. http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
If you have any containers, You can fill them for even
more storage• Soda bottles
– If you freeze them prior, they can be double duty
• Juice bottles• Milk jugs (I don’t like these)• Jars and cups with sealable lids
– Including your hiking stuff• Deep Pots
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
What water resources are available on your own
property?• Swales• Ditches that hold water• A well (no pump)• Ponds• Waterscapes• Creak beds or rivers• On a lake• Plants that provide water
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
Where else can you get water beyond your back
yard?• Neighbors• Gutters (fresh rain)• Commercial buildings• Parks

1. Start storing water in soda bottles and juice bottles.– Stacks well– Durable– 2-liter bottles can keep freezer cold– Great in coolers– Thaw, now drinkable water
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
2. Build Cisterns– 50 Gallon Drums– 250 Gallon Totes– 1500 Gallon Storage Tanks from Tractor
Supply
3. If you are getting a pool anyways!

You can also use rainwater collection for Rain Barrels
and cisterns
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
Rain Collection can Add up Quickly, Try this Rooftop
Rain Calculation• If you have 1200 sqft home and only
half of it empties into a 50 gallon drum, it would only take .13 inches of rain to fill it up!
• So the same home would only take .65 inches of rain fall!
• 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches ≈ .1337 cubic feet
• 1 square foot = 144 square inchesfigure it out on your own
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
You Don’t Have to Use Roof Tops for Water Catchment
• Use that brain and you can figure some awesome stuff out. Examples:
• Tarp– By its self– Under a Tree (offset)
• Emergency Ponchos• Plastic sheeting• Multiple jugs, cut and sequential
http://theprepperpodcast.com/WaterResources
Wells Are Great for Survival Water
• They almost don’t dry up• They have access to clean water• They provide you with necessary minerals• You will need Backup Pumps
– Solar Pump– Hand Pump
• Wells can go to cisterns instead of to the home.– Any reservoir can be pumped to a cistern
