I bought this book at the beginning of the summer, but just got around to reading it this week. I am a licensed professional civil engineer in Florida and my specialty of 33 years is water resources. I am also a veteran who served 4 years in the 82nd Airborne Division in an infantry line company. I know the importance of water and I have 4 years of first hand experience serving in areas where potable water is a commodity. If I had only this book to guide me during that time, I would have died within a week, maybe less. I was going to write a detailed review, but I decided I can't possibly say it any better than "Amazon Customer" did on June 9, 2016:
"It is a 200 page book. I got to page 73 (the beginning of Chapter 6) and it was all stories about events where water became scarce and how society broke down. That is more than 1/3 of the book on useless nonsense I can do nothing about, like water-borne diseases. Then the book goes on to advise that's common-sense, like fill the tub and every container you got.
The other 2/3 of the book reads like housewife advice--like how to wash your hands 101 and how to shop smart. My favorite is how to upgrade your shower head. If you are a prepper this book is not for you. Spend your money elsewhere."
Well said, "Amazon Customer". I only hope other serious preppers are listening.

The book advised to install a well if possible to get water in a survival situation. I have a well. The book failed to tell me how to get the water out of the well when I no longer have electricity. I had other questions that went unanswered as well. It was just the standard answers available everywhere. I expected more from a book with this title.

Complete waste of money.
There are no water collection designs in this book. There are no filtration designs. There aren't any methods detailing how to find water in the wild.
There are no charts or facts pertaining to water collection, filtration, treatment, storage or elimination.
If ever there was a product produced that was truly "false advertising" this waste of paper and ink is one of them.
The author owes me $15.

There's little in here that an experienced prepper wouldn't already know, but I still gleaned enough to feel comfortable recommending this book. Like the title says, clean water is the most important prep to have in most disasters and every step you take towards water preparedness will benefit you no matter how small.
The most important thing to know before you buy this book is to realize that it is largely geared toward surviving short and medium-term situations where clean water is unavailable. Think hurricanes, local and regional water table contamination, and electric well pumps failing during a power outage. Someone looking for detailed instructions on how to get clean water during a long term grid down situation will likely be disappointed. The people who will get the most out of it are ones who know water is a weak spot in their preparedness plans but don't know what options are out there beyond bottled water and purification tablets. Still, water is such a vital prep that this is a book worth having on your shelf even if it's only to lend out to others.

Maybe prepper books can be sorted into those that are disappointing and those that are pretty good. I think at first this one seemed like one of the disappointing ones, but now that I've read more of it, I'd have to say it's worthwhile.
It's kind of like, if the author titled a section "Lakes and Ponds," then she'd certainly write, "You can get water from lakes and ponds." And you'd want to say, "Ok! Wow, you thought of that, too?" Or like, she'd almost write that you should be sure to drink 8-10 full, tall glasses of pure water a day, and to drink whenever you feel thirst. One thing was, she wrote in a couple places that you shouldn't drink saltwater, and I thought it was a little dumb, that she was telling us what everybody knows. But then I thought, maybe it's really better in a way, after all, to mention it like that. You know, a smarter way to write on it, seems to me, might have been just to find out very specifically what happens to you when you drink saltwater, and tell us that. You know, what kind of symptoms and discomfort have people suffered from it, and how much drinking saltwater does it take to kill you. And then the author blueprint for us a couple practical ways to desalinate water.
Anyway, after reading the book more, I found there's a lot of good stuff in it that I'd bet that you'd think is pretty interesting, and you'd want to underline. You may not feel that all of it is something you think applies to you or something you want to use, but that's not saying much. Also, the book could give you a few more ideas of things to save up a few of.
You might have some of the same complaints I have about the book, but you also might feel that in a lot of ways, it straightened you out about water. She may not have nailed down everything you're concerned about, but there's stuff in here that could really help you.

I was amazed at the number of ways to get and store water. I also did not realize how quickly one could become sick from lack of water. This book may be small in size, but it packs a tremendous amount of information. I did not know of all the ways to obtain water, and how much water a single person needs to survive. I live in an area of this country that get a lot of rainfall. But I did not realize how much water just runs off. This book will be invaluable in a crisis situation, it could save a persons life. I highly recommend this book. JRV

Evidence- based clear suggestions for making the most of your water supply.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2021Verified Purchase
I liked the clear layout and easily understandable writing style. There is a lot to learn, but I now know enough to have confidence to begin. There's clean water in the soil that we can collect. Filters for water of varying conditions, home-made and otherwise. Because the author had to learn the hard way, from experience, her suggestions are do-able and effective.
