| Emergency Drinking Water | By Duncan Long - During our everyday lives, most of us take water for granted. But that's often not the case following a major disaster, whether storm, earthquake, or flood. And today even a terrorist or lone nut could easily sabotage most cities water supplies; a chemical spill or other accident is all it would take to make city water supplies dangerous to use.
