Which statement concerning the sources of drinking water is FALSE?
• SOLAS survival craft provisions for water and food • Use of seawater in survival situations • Methods of obtaining fresh water in a liferaft or lifeboat
• For each option, ask yourself: Does this give you fresh water, or is there a hidden risk? • Think about standard survival manuals and SOLAS training: What do they say about drinking seawater or fluids from marine animals? • Consider what equipment and natural processes are actually used to make seawater safe to drink, and whether that is described in any choice.
• Verify which methods actually produce potable (drinkable) fresh water (condensation, rain, fish). • Check your knowledge of the effects of drinking seawater on the human body in a survival situation. • Ask: Which statement is worded in an absolute way that might conflict with advanced survival techniques or specialized equipment?
