Glad we have a well. If Armageddon happens at the very least we will have access to clean filtered water from the greatest filtration system ever, the earth.

No, I'd say depends on where on the river. Rivers are often times outlets to the ocean and the water can be brackish. It is also the location of waste water run off and sewage treatment.

Their point is that you shouldn’t think you can just drink any water anywhere with this. Don’t drink water in the sewer for example.
