There are many methods of purifying water. This question is pretty vague but I'm going to assume you are asking in reference to making water potable (drinkable). The two primary concerns with drinking water are infectious agents (bacteria, viruses etc.) and chemical contaminants (poisons).

Common methods to remove infectious agents include: Ultraviolet light or ultrasonic waves to kill organisms, Poisons such as iodine or chlorine which will kill bacteria but are still safe to drink, and the old stand-by, boiling water.

Methods that will remove both infectious agents and contaminants include: Filtering, Reverse osmosis which is similar to filtering but uses high pressure and can remove salt from sea water, and distillation which involves evaporating just the water leaving behind the contaminants and then re-condensing the vapor.
