How to Collect Clean, Drinkable Water from Plants

In this video, I show how to collect clean, drinkable water from plants. This method of collecting water from plants involves tying a plastic bag over a leafy branch and allowing the plant to transpire into the bag. It is an effective way to get clean, pure water. The downside is you need a lot of plastic bags to collect enough water to live on. This method is more useful as a supplemental water supply.

Water is the most important thing if you are in a survival situation. You can go 100 hours without drinking at an average outdoor temperature. In many environments, there is either a lack of water or the water is unsafe to drink. Fortunately, there are usually some plants around. You can extract clean water from plants because they absorb water from the ground and filter out many of the impurities in the water. Plants transpire water, which means that water vapor evaporates from the leaves, and this water can be collected. This is a non-destructive process, does not harm the plant and can be repeated over and over again on different branches

You can also dig a hole, put a glass inside it, put green herbs/leafs around the glass, cover the hole with a plastic sheet and put a little stone above

This is great to know, on the lookout for content like this.

This would be very helpful in apocalypse

Short term survival it's a great idea but long term it's a terrible idea and exposure to sunlight causes plastics to release free radicals, which is bad for health. A glass bottle maybe a better idea.

will the water also smells like the leaves? im just wondering bcs i need it for our research im searching for some possible ways how to extract leaves, and i think this will work but not sure if the water's gonna be smell like the leaves, please reply asap thank you ^_^

Bpa from the plastic bag makes the water unsafe to drink🙁

[ThePieOfTheUnknown]

If you're not sure if this is safe, you can boil it, I believe this is safe to drink without boiling it first, but you can never be too careful

Can I use a Polythene bag, it's for a project.

Suppose you’re stranded in a mango grove with not a drop of water to drink.
How would you be able to get yourself clean water?
A few things that you have with you
- A clean polythene bag
- A piece of string

[aurimasvasiliauskas]

Great stuff dude!
I was wondering, because I didn't quite see it in the video, if the branch gets damaged in any way after this process? maybe leaves fall from it or something.

Does anyone know if the water has a certain taste?

[alexgeeson]

Can you use something else other than plastic?

[DJLitty]

This would be great if there wasn’t any water in my house now we got three ways to get water by rain by the ocean not everybody’s by the ocean and this so it would be great

[dosreislopesmariadelurdes]

Great video! Does it have the nutriments that our body needs?

[jungleghostsurvival]

The problem with doing this people dont know toxic trees and I prefer not to use bushes for this of toxic bushes

[libraryofpangea]

If you have to use plastic, it's better to just tie a plastic bag around a tree branch and allow it to transpire clean •safe• drinking water, while you are doing other task & while you are sleeping. If you are using a water container when going out in the wilderness ( and this isn't a random plane crash scenario where a normie is thrown into the situation) you should always use a metal or deerskin canteen & you should always keep a spile to tap sugaring trees for water.

This is just teaching people the wrong mindset from the outset.
