The problem is how many glass jugs you’d need. People seriously underestimate how much water they use in a day: that’s one gallon per person per day for bare minimum; for a family of four that’s 28 gallon jugs just for one week. You’re not going to have enough on hand for anything other than keeping you alive long enough to find a persistent water source (and fighting off everyone else who wants it too).
Anecdote:
I moved near a large lake, comforted that in an extreme case there was plenty of water nearby. A bit hard to get to, but and endless supply when gotten to.
Then the drought hit.
And the ACoE trusted an obviously broken depth gauge.
I mean a serious drought.
And the gauge was really stupidly blatantly obviously broken but they used it anyway.
And then the city of Atlanta and most surrounding areas were faced with no water - I mean NO water - in 30 days.

“that’s one gallon per person per day for bare minimum; for a family of four that’s 28 gallon jugs just for one week”
(1) if you have independent power generation for refrigeration/freezer (and other things as well) there are some liquids you can keep frozen/refrigerated that can be counted in your “one gallon per person per day” - such as: milk & juices
(2) many pre-bottled (in glass) drinks, with a long shelf-life, also can be counted in that “one gallon per person per day” - like the “Snapple” teas for example
(3) and if I were using 5 gallon glass jugs - like the old “Poland Springs” water jugs, that would be 5.6 5-gallon jugs for “one week”, but then again, given (1) & (2), they would actually serve for longer than one week; and if one had ten or 20 of such 5 gallon jugs - much longer

I guess, you have a “honey pot” factory - if you live in a place like Korea, or your neighborhood has a lot of outdoor “latrines”.
