Chapter One: Water Management

In this chapter, you will learn:

• How to construct a rainwater collection system
• Best ways to store water for the long term
• DIY water filter plans
• Distilleries for water purification

The Importance of Water

Water is probably the most important resource for any type of emergency situation. As a prepper, preparing yourself for a water shortage is one of the smartest things you can do. By constructing ways to gather, store, and purify water, you can extend your water supplies for weeks orgiven the right weather conditionsindefinitely.

This chapter will outline four projects for a month (that is, one project a week). By the end of the four projects, you will be well prepared for any sudden loss of access to fresh water. However, we wont end here. Later in this book, well also discuss irrigation techniques (Chapter 3), passive water heaters (Chapter 3), and manual hand pumps (Chapter 5), all of which can be combined with many of the projects in this chapter. So lets begin with the first of many projects to come.

Week 1: Rainwater Collector

Collecting rainwater is one of the fastest ways to get access to fairly fresh and clean water. This is a great first project, as its very simple to set-up and offers immediate benefits to the user. Rainwater harvesting can provide the user with their own water supply, independent of the city. This water can be used freely for any purpose and doesnt apply to water restrictions in counties that have them.

The major component of the rainwater collector is the cistern. Cisterns can be construction from many different materials; cement, plastic, or wood are just a few options. However, the most economically viable option is plastic. Many people use new garbage bins or dedicated plastic water barrels for storageboth good solutions, yet they can store only so many gallons of water. If you wish to store more, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) can be bought cheaply if used and can store more than 250 gallons of water!
