RE: No water scenario
We have a garden pond. Last year we dredged it and effectively started from scratch. When filling it, I checked the volume - 2,000 litres, and it's only a modest size. The pond is now a balanced eco-system with a good mix of plants, insects, amphibians, etc. The water remains relatively clear. This is our emergency water supply (after filtering, naturally). We also have the sea and distillation as a back-up - just a few minutes' walk, but this means using precious firewood and also leaving the bug-in location.
Good scenario. Lack of water is one of the few things that'll kill you short-term in a post-SHTF situation (apart from bacteria and other people!)
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.
