Emergency water supplies at home
July 27, 2006
Despite the experiences of New Orleans last year and Des Moines in 1993, many people fail to
keep an emergency supply of water around the house. Stored water may taste stale, but it can be freshened by pouring it back and forth between two containers; this process
aerates the water, which is the same process widely used in municipal water and wastewater treatment.
