[[Water]] is generally ready to be stored directly from the tap, [[rain]], or a [[water well]]. Large, [[food-grade]] containers are best for this. A [[pond]], [[lake]], [[spring]], [[creek]] or other natural water source can go a long way towards providing long-term water [[security]], but a [[water filter]] will likely be necessary for most natural sources. Store 2 to 3 months of [[water storage]] in blue food-grade [[55 gallon drum]]s with a [[Big Berkey]] [[water filter]] and replacement water filter inserts. | [[Water]] is generally ready to be stored directly from the tap, [[rain]], or a [[water well]].
