Depending on where you live, a gallon a day for each person is the
minimum. This is just in food and drink, not for things like washing.
Personally, I'd try for 50% more (still just food & drink). If I was in
a hot climate; several gallons. Now compare this to what you drink on
events...

Also remember that there are several sources of water that isn't a tap.
Melt snow (takes lots of fuel), boil water from lakes and streams, etc.
Should all the paranoia turn out to be true I'll go out in the woods and
chop a hole in a suitable lake (that time of year they tend to get a
hard crust around here).

How about the hot and cold running footmen?
