Water may be safely obtained from a variety of
plants.
The primary consideration is in selecting the correct,
non-poisonous plants. Here is a partial list of plants from
which water may be safely obtained:
- grapevines
- thistles
- maple tree sap
- birch tree sap
Another consideration is to be certain that the plant is not
growing in contaminated soil. Plants tend to take up whatever is
in the soil, so if the soil contains harmful substances, then
these may end up in the plant that you are wanting to harvest
for water.
As well, it is a good idea to become well acquainted with the
look-alikes of any plant that you are wanting to use as a water
source. For example, Canada Moonseed vines resemble grapevines:
get to know the difference! Canada Moonseed is poisonous. |
