i'm pretty good at science and chemistry and i have no clue how to filter all kinds of stuff out of it. i mean, Young wasn't just saying ammonia. pretty much everything toxic to humanity was in that water.
also, if the waterfall comes from a moutain then the water is clean, but if under the lake, there's contaminated soil, the water in the ground WILL be toxic. besides, the air was toxic, so it was probably the snow that put down the toxic layer.
it is better to gather 200 litres or so (well, i guess it was more, but maybe a few hundred liters max) then it could have sustained some people indefinately (because it's a closed system). better than everyone dying
