How can you purify water?

Answer 1

Boiling the water will get rid of any parasites or viruses in the water, but those may float to the top, so youll want to strain those out. iodine tablets can also be used, but you need to get the neutralizing tablets to get rid of the iodine taste. I know you can use bleach: about 8 to 16 drops per gallon to purify. You can also buy electirc and hand cranked water purifires, or have a filter installed on your sink, as there are many commercial filters you can buy meant for filtering water. If its really muddy water, you can strain it through your t shirt over and over if youre truly desperate, but i still wouldn't drink muddy water unless it was obviously clean, or if it was boiled. The easiest sign of pure water is if its clear (duh), so don't drink water that's all grossy nasty lookin.
