How Much Water Do You Really Need for SHTF?

Most guidelines say a gallon per person per day, but that feels like the bare minimum, especially if you factor in cooking, cleaning, and gardening. I’m curious how much water folks actually set aside for longer-term SHTF situations, and what you consider “enough.” Has anyone managed with less, or found ways to stretch their supply? Any trick for rain catchment or graywater use that really works in practice?
