How to get drinking water to sustain life in floods? Water from floods cannot be drunk directly! Floodwaters carry a variety of bacteria and harmful substances, and drinking it directly is very easy to get sick. How to get clean drinking water? First, if you still have the conditions for fire and heating after being trapped, you can take water from the calm and clear water, simply filter it and boil it for more than 5 minutes to ensure that the heat-resistant bacteria are killed. The second is to collect any water that can be directly drinkable, and where it rains a lot for a long time, or even has caused floods, the collected rainwater can be directly drunk in moderation. Is bottled drinking water floating from the flood drinkable? It is necessary to carefully check whether the tightness is good, rinse and disinfect and drink in moderation. Ways to get drinking water in floods: The first method is to heat it by burning a fire. After being trapped in a flood, it is easy to get drinking water if there are still any conditions for fire and heating.
Relatively clear water can be obtained in places where the water surface is relatively calm and clear, and has been precipitated for a while, or after simple filtration. After the water is boiled, do not turn off the heat immediately, continue to cook for more than 5 minutes to ensure that some heat-resistant bacteria are killed. If you are trapped in a high-altitude area, the general altitude increases by 1000 meters, the waiting time after boiling will increase by 1 minute, the boiled water is qualified drinking water, it may taste a little strange, but the problem of drinking in moderation is not big. The second method is to collect any water that is drinkable directly. Under normal circumstances, rainwater cannot be directly drinkable, because rainwater may contain dust, industrial exhaust and other harmful substances. However, in places where it rains heavily for a long time, or even has caused flooding, continuous rainfall is relatively clean, and in emergency situations, the collected rainwater can be directly drunk in moderation.
There are many ways to collect rainwater, and it can be collected using plastic sheeting, raincoats, etc. The third method is to utilize bottled drinking water. Is bottled drinking water that floats in the flood drinkable? Spiral sealed beverage has limited closure, after a long time of washing and soaking, sediment and microorganisms have the ability to mix, after salvaging to bottled water, be sure to carefully check whether the tightness is good, when opening, focus on the bottle cap and bottle body contact position to rinse and disinfect, pay attention to can be washed with another bottle of water, do not rinse in unclean water. In conclusion, access to drinking water in floods requires caution, never drinking unclean water because of thirst, and safe and reliable methods of obtaining drinking water to sustain life. How can you get clean drinking water in an emergency? What are the key measures for flood prevention and self-rescue? This article will introduce two ways to get clean water and self-help in response to flooding.
First, let's introduce the method of distillation using daylight. When we don't have other heating equipment, we can use the sun's thermal energy to distill water. It is necessary to prepare a large basin filled with various water sources, then put it in a clean container, and cover the basin with a plastic sheeting and press the center of the cloth with stones. After leaving the entire device in the sun or waiting for a while, the distilled water condenses on a plastic sheet and drips into the container so that we can get clean drinking water. This method is simple and easy to use, suitable for outdoor activities or emergency situations. Another method is to obtain a relatively clean water source through filtration. When we do not have heating conditions and cannot obtain direct drinking water, we can purify the water source by filtration. You can use a sturdy plastic bag, pierced in the bottom, and then tucked into the bag with cotton gloves, socks or clothing to filter it.
Multiple filtration can remove most microorganisms. If conditions permit, we can use a cola bottle as a filter, remove the bottom of the bottle and pierce a few small holes in the cap, then fill it with fine sand and charcoal powder in turn, after compaction, slowly pour unclean water into the filter, clean water will seep out from the bottom, we can collect it and barely drink. If you are not satisfied with the water quality, you can make multiple filters for multiple filtration. It should be noted that the method of filtration can only remove most of microorganisms and impurities, and cannot completely remove harmful substances such as bacteria and fungi. Therefore, it is recommended to drink in small amounts and prepare some outdoor drinking water disinfectant tablets as a backup to turn the filtered water into reliable drinking water. When faced with flooding, we need to take some key self-help measures. First of all, keep an eye on official information and prepare accordingly.
If possible, move quickly to safe areas such as hillsides, highlands, etc. If there is no time to move, immediately look for a high place, such as a roof or a large tree, take temporary shelter, and wait for rescue. Second, bulky containers and floating debris can both be life-saving in flooding. Oil drums, drink bottles, footballs, basketballs, tables, chairs and benches, and sturdy cabinets and boxes can all be used as temporary life-saving tools, as long as they can survive without being flooded. Finally, if you are unlucky enough to fall into the water, don't panic. Stretch your arms, take a big breath of air, relax your body, use your legs to tread water to help swim, keep your body floating on the surface of the water naturally, and grasp the floating objects around you at any time to expose your mouth to the surface, inhale quickly after exhaling, save physical strength and seek assistance at the right time. To sum up, when we face an emergency, it is very important to have access to clean drinking water and save ourselves in floods.
By using sunlight for distillation and filtration, we can purify water with relative ease. At the same time, understanding the key measures of flood self-help can improve our survivability in dangerous situations. Therefore, we should prepare in advance and master these simple and effective methods to protect our own safety and others. Have you ever had a similar emergency?
