Jan 6 - I did some research and ordered a travel berkey water filtration system to use when camping and in the event of emergency. My climate has lots of water most of the time and I store a bunch of it in rain barrels for the gardens year round so I've got a few hundred gallons sitting there. As well the ditch in front of the house runs pretty constantly 10 months out of the year. I wouldn't want to drink either of those sources without some serious filtering though. The berkey with the black filters is designed to make those types of sources safe to drink. Lake water when camping will be trivial for it. It's all gravity fed requiring no power and should easily keep my family of 4 in fresh water.
