Summary
A
water ration of as little as a pint per day has allowed life
raft survivors to live for weeks, but a more realistic figure
is 1 gallon per person per day for survival. 4 gallons per
person/day will allow personal hygiene, washing of dishes,
counter tops, etc. 5 to 12 gallons per day would be needed
for a conventional toilet, or 1/2 to two gallons for a pour
flush latrine. For short-term emergencies, it will probably
be more practical to store paper plates and utensils, and
minimize food preparation, than to attempt to store more
water.
