I don't have any long term water storage because I literally have no place for it. if we ever get a shop built, it can go in there. I usually have about 15 gallons of water around from the purifier at the store (Like most of my neighbors). We use that for drinking and cooking because our well water has too high of an iron content to taste good. The chickens get rainwater off the metal awning for 9 months of the year.
Yes we have a permanent stream and pond, but contamination is possible. It's only a few feet deep. The lilypads do help shade off algae during the warmer months. Ive never used that water for anything.
We have a few Lifestraws and a filter for short term water needs, but it would suck long term.
