You may have years and years of food on hand, but if you don't have enough water you won't be able to last long enough to make any use of most of it. The prepper in the video below explains just how important it is to have several long term water contingencies planned…just in case.
Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, as far as you can possibly take it. If you have the means and the space, the methods outlined in this video are certainly the absolute best you could find to get you going for years to come.
If one method doesn't work out, you'll have plenty more options to draw from until you land on a method that works. If all of them fail, well, that's when you get to draw on yet another of your prepper skills: resourcefulness.

I have an big$#%&!@*aquarium filtering system attached to my drums, each hooked up to each other, the pump filters and airates the water there by keeping it fresh.
thanks for sharing. With all that is happening with our climate, we need to protect ourselves. Our government won’t.
I have a well with water in it. Don’t need to store water.
Take one 50 gal drum.
Drill holes in the bottom of it, maybe 20.
Pack the very bottom with rough size carcoal,
coarse carcoal the next level
fine carcoal
then gravel
then sand.
Definitely boil if resources available.
Always wait 30 mins to an hour if adding bleach or KmNO4 (Potassium Permanganate).
This is a very popular backwoods water filter that has grown in popularity, mainly bc materials are in your backyard and man-made chemicals are easily extracted from the charcoal itself, as most water tables are polluted with industrial or agricultural chems.

Wells run dry, or get contaminated. Then what?$#%&!@*happens. Prepare for the unexpected. What if Allah Bob takes a crap down your well?
