Here are a few simple water purification techniques to make your water safe for drinking:
- Boiling/Filtering; this is one of the most reliable ways to purify water. In addition to that, you need to filter the water to remove all solid particles especially if the water was taken from a doubtful source. For instance, tap water.
- Use of iodine solutions, tablets or crystals; this is a rather effective and convenient method in comparison to forms that will not altogether suit your budget. It helps eliminate viruses and bacteria.
- Use water filters; these filters can remove bacteria in the water - treated water can be consumed directly and the water has no bad taste. However, you need to replace them after having treated several gallons of water.
Protect. Conserve. Exist.
