The emergency department director just informed you that when they turn on the water at the sinks, only smelly brown sludge comes out. Now none of the health care workers can wash their hands, patients can't bathe, surgeons can't scrub, and there is no fresh water to drink. This scenario was not contemplated in your disaster plan, so you have to think fast.

1. Perform some research of peer-reviewed literature and in your first post, address the following:
   • Describe what your options would be in this case. What has worked in other facilities faced with this problem?
   • What are some out-of-the-box ideas that might work? For example, one facility reactivated an old water-well that was on the property. What other ideas or technology could be used quickly in this scenarios?
