If I’m buying bottled water for use after a flood, fire, earthquake, alien invasion, etc, should I choose distilled water or spring water? How long will it last before I have to throw it away and buy a new supply? If it’s stored in my garage, and it gets to 90F there, will that prematurely "spoil" the water?

In a science project, we need to figure out how to clean contaminated wells. We figured (through labs) that the creek was spreading the contamination. Do you know of plants that have ALL (or at least some) of these traits:
-Do well in dry areas (creek) that sometimes flood
-Help clean the water (cat tails and others do that)
-Are native to Illinois
If you know, that’d be great! Please don’t try and guess random plants.
