Importance of Water Storage

Water is the most important need for life, next to air. It is highly important to ensure there is continuous enough supply, for one-self, a family, community, and region and nation-wide. During natural disasters, for example hurricane, earthquake, flood, etc., water is the first item required as a person cannot survive long without it, unlike food. Next, come food and shelter and other facilities. This highlights the importance of water for life as well as water storage.
