It is essential to learn how to find potable drinking water quickly and efficiently when you're in survival situations. You need enough water to sustain you until help arrives. Lack of clean drinking water can cause dehydration, which could lead to death.

What are the Different Types of Water Sources?

There will be many water sources around you while you are out in the wilderness, such as streams, lakes and rivers, springs, rivers, oceans and rainwater. These water sources may be available all year depending on where you live. Or they might be only accessible during the winter. You will need to take into account several factors when selecting the right water source.

First, determine whether fresh water is available to you. This will mean you need to determine if you have easy access water sources such as streams, rivers, lakes, springs, oceans, and rainwater. Second, consider whether or not you have access to clean water. Because it is difficult to treat water contaminated with urine and feces, you should not collect it. The third thing you need to consider is how much water you will need. You will need to consider how long you are going to be out of your home, how dry and hot it is, what size your family is, and how many people you have. Fourth, you'll need to figure out how to transport the water you gather. It can be difficult to get water from some sources.
