Answer 2

We need to store potable water due to the following reasons-

1. Water is required in our daily activities. Most importantly, it is used for drinking purposes. Natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunami or any other disaster, can cause the non-availability of local water, thus, there should be stored water at home so that we can use it during non-availability.
2. If the local water supply gets broken or becomes unavailable due to contamination, then we can use the stored potable water.
