Dig for water

One method of collecting water is to dig for water. Look for dry creek beds, sandy bottomlands or ravines. They may have water below the surface. Simply dig a hole until water begins to seep into it. Gather your liquid with a container or a piece of cloth.

The water is usually pure but filter and purify it.

To make a simple water filter you can take three sticks. Tie them in tee-pee formation and tie three pieces of cloth one above the other. Put a container to catch the water at the bottom. Pour the water through and it will help filter out sediment.
