1) Water must be filtered first to trap and remove large impurities. Any cloth or coffee filter can be used as a filter.

2) If water is cloudy, it can be made to stand for half a day, after which clear water can be scooped and then filtered.

3.) Boiling water kills all potential germs you may get from contaminated water. Heat water and allow it to boil for two (2) minutes, then let it cool.

"Boiled water that has been cooled can be used immediately."


4.) Water can be disinfected by adding 2 drops of 5% chlorine solution (unscented bleach) for every one liter of refrigerated water. Allow it to stand for an hour.

5.) If faint chlorine smell is detected after an hour, then it is safe to drink. Repeat the procedure if you cannot detect the smell.

"If it does not have the faint smell on the third (3rd) try, water must be discarded since it may contain germs."
