Finding and Purifying WaterWhat amount of water is recommended for a trip? This is a typical first question new adventurers ask when the topic of an adequate water supply is brought up. The average human needs two quarts for drinking, food preparation, and cooking. Several gallons per person can easily be used when you consider bathing and washing out clothing while on the trail. These non-food and drink needs do not have to meet the same exacting standards of purity. Most travelers want to feel confident the water is sufficiently free of human destructive germs and chemicals. This helps in the prevention of illness from touching bathing water, or wearing clothes washed in an impure pond.
