If you don\u2019t have a reliable source of clean drinking water, you probably won\u2019t last longer than three days. If you start drinking unclean water out of desperation, your chances of survival could dwindle even lower.

You could expose yourself to all sorts of waterborne diseases and parasites that are invisible to the naked eye.\u00a0SHTF will really happen if you have to deal with a serious bout of diarrhea on top of all your other problems.\u00a0At the very least, you should always boil your water first before drinking it.
