Imagine if one day the power goes out on a nationwide scale, the water stops running and becomes scarce. How will you survive?

I'm pretty sure the idea is that this is for a situation where your phone is now a paperweight...

I suppose if you were without other ways to get water, these would work, but would take a while to get a sufficient quantity. Still, better than nothing....

As emplacement solutions, if there's no body of water, river, or aquifer to tap there's:
Air Wells and Dew Ponds.

If you own land without access to any ready water source, you may consider building one of these long term emplacement solutions.
An Air Well can supply tens, and hundreds or more gallons of water a day in the right conditions, built to sufficient size for demands.

Further, instead of making your own portable atmospheric water condenser as described in my previous post, you can also buy a high-tech ready-made solution:

Both of these methods are viable and can be found in military survival manuals dating back to the 40's. The transpiration bag takes its water from the plant through the leaves, just be sure the plant is not toxic or has characteristics which make the water unpalatable (such as sage)
The second (solar still) takes water from natural ground water evaporation and is totally dependent on ground saturation level. Some areas this wont work for obvious reasons.

Water is a primary need so you better find a way to fulfil it. Just remember that if you have a great plan there is probably another thousand or more with the same plan....just saying.

PS I taught these concepts to the military back in the late 70's early 80's so I got a little clue on whats going on

Have a great day
