INFO:

To purify water, start by straining out large particulates like pebbles, insects, or plant matter. Pour the water from one container to another, passing it through a mesh strainer lined with a dish towel. If you don’t have a strainer, pour the water into a container and let it settle for 1-2 hours. Skin lightweight particles off the surface of the water, then gently pour the water into a clean bowl or jar. Stop pouring before you get to the bottom so the heavier sediment will be left behind. Keep in mind that these methods will not remove pathogens or heavy metals from the water.
