Dirty water, in the sense of it being cloudy or muddy was most likely filtered through any cloth or cloth like material, the pioneer had on hand. it is probably, in most cases
they would collect water from the clearest part of the stream or pond and then let
what ever sediment was in it, settle down to the bottom of the container the water was collected in. If they were really thirsty, then they would probably drink it anyway. Be thankful that you didn't live back then.
