I have read quite a few books on prepping and water storage, but never one this well written and as in-depth. I thought I knew a lot about water survival until I read it. I especially enjoyed the new technologies I had no idea about. This book affirmed a lot of what I am doing right, but also areas I need to improve on. This book is well researched and written, encouraging, a down to earth. Highly recommended.

This book offers a holistic and practical approach to water survival based on the author's unique W.A.T.E.R.P.R.O.O.F framework, which covers every aspect of water self-sufficiency.

This book is a well-researched, educational, and informative guide that provides readers with techniques, tools, and actionable steps for both immediate and long-term self-reliance during an unexpected event.

I have more and more been concerned about the future of our country - I am not a pessimist (like to think I am a realist, and someone who tries to prepare - I always know where the exits are in any situation). There is lots of information about Prepping, but I bought this book specifically because it focuses on water. I live in New York City (which may explain my concern for the future!)) and found the section on urban water sourcing especially interesting. I also travel a lot to developing countries and the information on purifying water will be very helpful - and would be for all who are not necessarily preppers but are looking for information about water purification.

WOW, this book was SO INSIGHTFUL! I learnt so much, and made me think about so many things that I didn't even know to think about, for example the importance of sufficient storage (because yes finding water is step one, but making sure you can store it well - keeping it pure and safe from contaminants - and safely is another!). This book is super easy to read, gives you checklists to make sure you've covered everything, shows you pictures of the things the author is referring to so you know exactly what they are talking about, offers so many solutions and exercises to really get you thinking and going about what you need to do to prepare.
