It would be very informative to start threads on both EMP and Mass Coronal Ejection.An EMP would not contaminate the well. Nuclear fallout would, but just an EMP wouldn't. But if a foreign power or terrorist group did manage to detonate a nuclear device at a high altitude, the fallout would be scattered over a very wide area as most of it would be caught in the jet stream. A Mass Coronal Ejection which can also cause an EMP, would leave no fallout.
Also, most of the material from a nuclear detonation has a short half-life. Within a few months, most of the radiation would have dissipated. Its only the long term material, which can have a half-life measured in thousands of years, which is the danger.
True...But, a neutron bomb would cause little destruction but would cause far more deaths even In a well built fallout shelter.

Here is an idea i had for a water filter using simple material yet in my mind should be effective . Take a 2 liter bottle and a funnel. fill bottle 1/2 full of play sand. Then add a 3" layer of activated charcoal. finally fill the rest of the way with pea gravel. You could make several of these rather inexpensively and store for later use.
When preparing to use them for filtering rain water you have collected or cistern water etc. drill a small hole in the cap of the 2 liter bottle. use a rubber band to secure a couple of coffee filters to the cap. then turn upside down and cut a hole in the bottom of the 2 liter bottle to pour the water through. Of course you would boil this water first and let it cool. add a purification tablet or small amount of bleach. I would guestimate that a filter like this would be good for at least 5 to 10 gallons. In my opinion.
I welcome any suggestions or critiques on this idea. God bless
yes I'm from Christchurch NZ and you have to expect or be prepared for liquifaction and giant cracks in your back yard the liquefaction also is another reason for dust masks medical masks it was like grey dust in the airJust a note. I heard a lady speaking from christchurch nz after thier earthquake.she said one thing you should not do is store things in only one part of the house.as she found out... You cant assume you will be able to get to them when its buried under roof and walls and the ground liquified and mud filled the crushed mess.
Old adage i guess. Dont put all the eggs in onebasket..
And yes bore (well) water can become toxic after earthquakes if near by contaminants are forced into the water table by the sheer pressures at work.
Have faith in God..keep the faith.
I'm confused by some of your wording. First you state that silica can be recharged then later you refer to sand, seemingly as another product. Sand is silica. What am I missing?
Also, the idea of a sand filter making water cleaner is not exactly true. The impurities are still in your water column, unless you are referring to a small quantity poured through it and removed from the source of your water.
What are you referring to when you mentioned ceramics?
