    I have been prepping for over 20 years. I would figure 2-3 gallons of water per day per person. Now keep in mind that the answer can vary depending on many things. How many people are in your group and how old are they? Do you have only dried foods stored? Will you be making baby formula every few hours? Does anyone in your group have special needs for extra liquids? Will you be worried about washing dishes or laundry? What are your plans on replenishing your water supply? Of course all of these things and many more will determine your answer. So give yourself some time to calculate how much you will need for each person for a specific time. Keep in mind you will also have the water in your water heater and toilet tank for use.
