   • Boiling Water for Drinking. Collect water and filter it with a cloth, towel, or water filter. Do this for cloudy water from a lake, stream, or well.
   • Disinfecting Water with Chlorine Bleach. Buy regular chlorine bleach labeled for water sanitation. Choose bleach that contains 6% or 8.25% of sodium hypochlorite—you can find this information on the product label under “Active Ingredients”.
   • Filtering Water to Remove Particles. Buy a water filter that can be screwed onto a soda bottle. Make sure the filter has an “absolute pore size” of 1 micron or less.
   • Using Sunlight to Purify Water in Emergencies. Fill 4-5 clear plastic bottles with water. Opt for long, thin, clear plastic soda bottles or water bottles with screw caps.
