Poke a hole to drink the water or pour it into a container for later. The water will\u00a0taste\u00a0like whatever plant you choose, but it&#8217;s better than nothing. It&#8217;s also important to use non-poisonous vegetation. Once you&#8217;re done, tie the hole shut and reuse the bag.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re near the coastline, a beach well is an excellent way to get drinkable water. Dig a 3-5 foot hole in the depression behind the first sand dune. This is typically about 100 feet from the waterline. Put rocks in the bottom of the well to keep sand from getting too active and line the sides with wood if you can &#8212; this will prevent the walls from caving in. In a few hours, you could have up to five gallons of filtered water. If it tastes too salty, you should move further back behind the second sand dune.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cawater-info.net\/all_about_water\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/get-water-7.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6746 colorbox-6744\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cawater-info.net\/all_about_water\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/get-water-7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.cawater-info.net\/all_about_water\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/get-water-7.png 400w, http:\/\/www.cawater-info.net\/all_about_water\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/get-water-7-150x150.png 150w, http:\/\/www.cawater-info.net\/all_about_water\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/get-water-7-300x300.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This well technique works near any body of water. Dig swamp and lake wells closer to the water than the beach version. The same method also works in the desert during the wet season &#8212; just dig at the low point between dunes, near vegetation. Look for moist soil in dry river beds and chances are you can find groundwater underneath.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve collected water, it&#8217;s time to purify it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/adventure.howstuffworks.com\/survival\/wilderness\/how-to-find-water3.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/adventure.howstuffworks.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Dear User\/Visitor!
