    How much water do you have on-hand right now?

    Simple question.

    How much water, potable or otherwise, do you have in storage, or easily accessible should the water quit flowing out the tap?

    "Easily accessible" means either in your house, garage or barn. If you have acreage, you can count a pond/stream assuming they are reasonably accessible in adverse conditions.

    65 gallons.

    "I have a pool and a pond, the pond would be good for you"--lol.

    I keep roughly 80 gallons in 5 gallon jugs for the water fountains. (Thanks Troubleshooter) also have 600-800 gallons in the well but we use city water. Our pond is only @100 yards from the house so easily accessible. There's also a pond next door....I don't worry about water to much.
    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.

    I have two wells, one deep 350 feet, wont be much good once the fuel runs out. Have a shallow well 44 feet, can get it with a rope and a bucket. Also have a pond, which is one acre surface area and 14 feet deep. I am okay on water and a way to purify it.

    165 gallons in barrels. 19 gallons in containers. 2 ponds next door of at least an acre. a lake 1.5 miles down the road. Multiple filters, and purification treatments. Water is not a problem if bugging in.
