This line from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner rings more true when thinking of surviving difficult times. As we’ve stated before in at least one email that has gone out to everyone who subscribes, water is more VITAL than food when surviving is the issue.
A human body can last at least 40 days without food, but begins to shut down all vital organs in less than 3 days of no water. After the 3 day period, with little to no water, the damage is nearly irreversible. The damage begins that early and the body begins dying. Even in the daily living under ‘normal’ circumstances, the lack of proper hydration has been linked to depression, head-aches, blurred vision and lethargy. Remember a minimum of 64oz a day is needed to keep your body functioning properly. In a survival situation it is especially necessary to function at your peak!
Not only are vital organs such as the kidneys and brain effected, but the heart as well. As the body dehydrates, blood becomes thicker and loses volume. This causes the heart to work harder and circulation of blood to be less efficient. In a survival situation, loosing your physical and mental abilities due to dehydration could mean the end of your life simply due to alertness or the ability to function at peak performance.
Now that the realization of a good supply of clean drinking water is firmly rooted in your mind, let us offer some options to keep that supply readily available in any given situation:

Popular Questions
What does “water, water everywhere, nor any a drop to drink” mean?
The phrase describes having water all around you while lacking safe, drinkable water. It highlights the difference between visible water and freshwater that is clean enough for human consumption. The idea is often used to explain why oceans, polluted rivers, and contaminated supplies cannot solve a drinking-water shortage.
Why can there be water everywhere but not a drop to drink?
Most of the planet’s water is salt water, which must be desalinated before people can drink it. Freshwater may also be frozen, polluted, trapped underground, or too difficult to reach. Treatment, storage, and distribution are needed before available water becomes a reliable drinking supply.
How can communities respond to a “water, water everywhere” drinking-water crisis?
Communities can protect watersheds, repair leaking infrastructure, and expand reliable water-treatment systems. During emergencies, they should provide tested bottled or tanked water and tell residents how to disinfect supplies safely. Long-term planning may also include rainwater harvesting, wastewater reuse, conservation, and carefully managed desalination.
What practical steps help when there is water everywhere but no safe drinking water?
Use only sealed bottled water or water confirmed safe by local health officials. If guidance permits, boil clear water vigorously for at least one minute, then cool it in a clean covered container. Do not drink seawater or water with chemical contamination, because boiling will not remove salt or many hazardous substances.
