How long can you leave a cup of water sitting out for and still drink it?
This answer depends on the environment. If, for example, you are talking about in a kitchen in a maintained household, the water will be good for probably a few days. After that point, there will be so much dust in the cup that you'd probably just want to get a new glass of water. But out in the woods, a cup of water would probably last a few hours unattended. Insects and such will get into the water and may possibly contaminate it. In a snowy or very cold environment, you could probably leave it out for a day, since most insects won't be about.

What is the name of the process which purifies water?
If you're out and about, then you should be taking the best quality water with you wherever you go. You can do this by getting a take along portable water purification system and using some water purification tablets, just in case you run out and have to drink water that you're not sure is completely safe. And don't even think about using Brita for Radiation Exposure, it will do nothing for it at all!
Store the water in a stainless steel BPA free container, ceramic or other BPA free container. Use water purification tablets, but not Postasium Iodine (which is what makes iodized table salt) so dangerous. This salt is toxic, ask your doctor! Natural sea salt is beneficial. A little difference can make a big difference to your health.

While I don't believe in keeping fish in a bowl you should never use distilled water to keep fish in. It will kill them eventually.

How can you make sea water fit for drinking?
Get yourself a simple distillation apparatus. It consists of a round bottom flask you put your sea water in, which then connects to a still head, and then a cold water condenser, an adapter and receiving flask. Heat the sea water to boiling, and then the pure water vapor will condense in the column, and collect in the receiving flask. The sea salts will be left behind in the original flask, and you will have nice pure water....example http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9c/Simple_distillation_apparatus.svg

What happens if i don't eat and i only drink water?
== == * You are really harming yourself. Starving yourself doesn't actually make for a good diet. Your brain needs protein (from dairy products and meat products) and your colon needs grains, leafy green vegetables to work properly. Your kidneys and other organs need that 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day to flush out fat and toxins. Fruits are a must and are full of vitamin C. Exercise is important as well. By doing what you are doing you are starving your body and before you know it the body will turn on itself and start feeding off itself and you'll lose muscle mass and have a myriad of problems with your body. Get smart! If you find it difficult to do this on your own please join Weight Watchers (teaches good eating habits while you maintain a good weight). No, I don't work for Weight Watchers, but go when I feel those lbs. hit me around the holidays. * If you only have three weeks, then you can lose a lot of weight. You should eat some healthy soups and vegetables though. It will be tough the first few days but by about day four you will feel great.
