Even though water is abundant, the amount of portable fresh water available is a tiny fraction of the total amount of water in the world. A disaster such as a flood, tsunami, or an earthquake may contaminate water when sewage systems are damaged or when there are breaks in the water lines. After a major storm you must assume that all water sources are contaminated until proven safe. Do not use water that has a dark colour, an odour, or contains floating material. In addition to having a bad odour or taste, contaminated water can contain micro-organisms that cause diseases such as dysentery, cholera, typhoid and hepatitis. You should therefore purify all water of uncertain purity before using it for drinking, food preparation or hygiene.
