Water is our most urgent need in a survival situation. You can not live log without it.

You can also find water at the foot of concave banks of dry rivers,foot of cliffs or rock outcrops, first depression behind first sand dune of dry lakes,damp surface sand,and wherever you can find green vegetation.
Now if you want clean water at home then you must have a filter here are some of the best.
APEC Top Tier 5-stage Ultra Safe Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System When it comes to wiping impurities out of your H2O, nothing gets it done better than the consumer favorite—and Amazon’s top seller—APEC Top Tier Filter. The American made filtration system gets rid of 99 percent of contaminants like arsenic, copper, lead, and more in your drinking water. It is a reverse osmosis system, which means it forces water through the membrane of the filter to remove impurities.
Once the system is installed at your kitchen sink, there’s no need to stock up on replacement filters right away either as three of the five filters only need to be replaced every six months, and the other two filters should be swapped every two to three years. The unit comes with a lead-free chrome faucet for easy drinking. The faucet has two settings one which turns on the tap as long as you're pressing down on the button—ideal for filling your drinking glass, and the other that provides a continuous stream of water until you turn it off, which is perfect for filling up cooking pots or water bottles. Added to all of this are the Leak-Free Fittings, which ensure you won’t be wiping up spills every time you use it.
Unlike portable filter options, this unit does require installation. But as long as you have the space under your sink for the filters and room on the sink itself for the additional tap, installation is relatively pain-free and takes about 30 minutes.
Here is a Budget alternative
APEX Countertop Drinking Water Filter - Alkaline (Clear) $90 This filter not only removes contaminants, but is also adds some minerals back into the water. With the suggested RF-1050 replacement alkaline cartridges, which are said to adjust the pH level in the water using calcite, this removes chloramines, heavy metals, chlorine, and odors. It also controls microorganisms. The minerals it adds back are calcium, magnesium and potassium. The filters need to be changed after 1,500 gallons of water have been filtered. Since this has a standard-sized housing, you can also use other types of filters.
This is a countertop unit, but it connects to the faucet at the nozzle via a flexible tube that fills the filter unit, which then dispenses the filtered water. It’s easier to install than an under-sink unit, and doesn’t need to be refilled like the pour-over counter-top or pitcher units, but the tube isn’t particularly attractive and can get in the way of normal sink usage if left to dangle from the faucet.
Now we can not forget about shower filters, because your skin absorbs substances while showering. Typically, 60% of the chlorine that most people absorb daily comes from showering in chlorinated water. Chlorine damages your hair and skin. Shower water also contains heavy metals and VOCs (volatile organic compounds). All these things should be filtered out, but filtering water at the shower head is problematic, because the water is typically hot and under high pressure, making filtration difficult. Carbon filters, which are normally excellent at remove chlorine, cannot handle the volume and heat of shower water. Here are some of the best shower filters.
