The question about having enough water stored for a year, Is BS.
A family of 4 would need roughly a 16-by-32-foot pool with a 5 ft depth, which will hold about 19,200 gallons.
By the time you figure in water for drinking, food prep, washing food, laundry and personal hygiene, evaporation and loss, leakage and spillage, over a years time, you would be real close to this figure. Add in 10 % for a safety net and it is even closer.
This will by no means allow you to take showers or waste water in any other way, either.
If you are going to grow a garden and need water for that, add some more.
Most families do not the the ability or the room, to store up 15 to 20,000 gallons of water as a minimum amount for a year.
