It just reinforces why breastfeeding is crucial for babies if regular
sources of water are interrupted.  Distribution was the problem.

Des Moines Water Works manager comments on recovery after flood
September 2005
U.S. Water News Online
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Restoring drinkable water to a city the size of New
Orleans could take months given the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, said
L.D. McMullen, who restored water to Des Moines after extensive flooding in
1993.
……….
The immediate challenge in New Orleans will be getting clean water to
residents while the system is down. Soft drink companies and even breweries
bottled water during the Des Moines flood, but many of the bottles wound up
stacked in a warehouse, McMullen said.
The most successful delivery system was the tankers of clean water brought
by National Guard members to neighborhood grocery stores, where residents
filled their own containers.
"In a very short term, bottled water didn't work," he said.
