Due to the enormeous responce about FREEZE DRY FOOD in our last newsletter I'd like to try to answer your questions.
It takes 60 gallons of water to produce 30 days of freeze dry food "MEALS"
Thats 720 gallons of water for a one year supply to make meals
6 gallons of water evaporates from 60 gallons of water per week
24 gallons per month
288 gallons a year
3 gallons evaporates from 30 gallons a month
36 gallons evaporate a year from 360 gallons of water
so you will need 84 gallons a month for freeze dry food
So for a 30 day supply of MEALS (freeze dry food), you will need 84 gallons of water per month for one person or 1,008 gallons a year.
In addition to that you will need drinking water & cooking water and personal hygiene water per person, see the chart above.
