I understand dried beans and dried peas but dried rice I haven't seen ... if it's other...

What do they do about food?

I was just reading some of my bookmarked / subscribed threads and came across this one. Is this site also a joke?

I'd also like to know how do the astronauts in space survive without water? I...

I downloaded the doc. It does contain the same charts and questions that I had downloaded from that website as word docs too. But all the disasters' info was on a webpage. I do remember the word PDP...

Not this! I have this one already in my subscriptions, nice post btw.

I'm really confused at this thing. Several days ago I had been reading some page (from one of the stickys I think) I guess that had every detail of all kinds of hazards (earthquakes, storms,...

How much dry ice is needed for this? And it would be nice if you can explain what it does.

Sorry but I do not like to see a vid of a non-veg item since I don't eat and like non-veg. But could you detail the process to preserve for 3 years as you say?

If edr730, or anyone else, can detail me this fish tank filter, it would be great.

Alum is used all over India for treating turbid water, even in the villages. The ony thing is that it has to be used for quite some time for getting a nice clear water. And due to this long time (a...

I was wondering I might not get them here in India but the name Murunga sounded south-indianish to me and I see it's from sri-lanka.



Good, I'll try to get it, probably will ask someone in...

Ken, can you please give some more detail and / or some pics (even if you make it manually in mspaint). That will let me picturize it.

I understood this info perfectly now , last night I skipped reading when it kinda went above my head. I'd like to know which one in the wikipedia list is easy to get, similar to alum?

Do you mean...

The first one is not about Mumbai tho it starts with the word Mumbai. Yes I very well remember the day when I had to stay at a friend's house that night in the 2005 Mumbai floods. He was a Godsend...

Alum is far cheaper than boiling so much water. I started using SODIS but now the water is turbid, so boiling is better, and then filtering. But again it costs a lot of gas to boil so much water.
...

Alum would be no. 2 above then. But can you tell me more about what clays are these you mentioned? I like the clarity of water after circling it with alum a few times and it settles faster, but the...

Here in India, people put neem leaves (kinda insect repellent) in the grains when storing. It's common here to compare wheat to gold in terms of nutritive value. Although I myself eat rice a lot, in...

I'm already using alum to settle the mud but it makes the water sour to taste (bad for throat) tho is somewhat faster.

Using an 8 fold cloth, still the water colour was muddy.

Your assumption is correct, it's a closed system from the municipality to the homes, unless the piping is purposely broken by some bad people to get water for free.

Strange that the search results don't list this thread when I search with my username. get other threads fine, tho.

LOL sorry I was searching that other thread but when couldn't find, I though I was dreaming that I had posted this question before.

Is there a fast way to make turbid water settlement fast, other than using alum which makes the water taste sour?

I tried googling and only found a few really good links.

Like how many months? Is 6 months okay? What if in case of emergencies, we don't get to refill our water (and are prepared to die due to one thing or the other), then would you drink this treated...

Our water supply at home is quite muddy / turbid even tho the filtration plant (which is quite near to where I live) uses lots of sand and charcoal to filter the water before adding chlorine.

It...

Thanks Rick, your post will surely help me as it answers my question.

BTW, if I'm gonna use the method like given for food and water here , then I guess it could be hard to inspect every year or...
