People use 1000x more water than they need to drink.

If a water supply chain attack happened, we would just distribute bottled water for drinking, and people would go without washing for a few days whilst the issue was sorted.

Bottled water production is already big enough that delivering a bottle a day per person in new York is within the scale of the current production and retail networks scope.

It wouldn't cause the mass casualties an enemy might assume.
