DIY Drinking water

The typhoon season may bring mean more rains but not necessarily more clean, drinking water.

In case you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being a typhoon victim, you may benefit from learning how to produce drinkable water from any water source--whether it’s a river, lake or even from rainwater.
The Johns Hopkins University Global Water Program suggests the following ways to make unclean water safe to drink:
Method # 1

• Allow water to pass through a clean piece of cloth then boil for 3 minutes.

Method # 2

• Collect water in empty, transparent, plastic containers such as Coca-Cola PET bottles and expose to the sun for at least 6 hours on a sunny day or 48 hours on a cloudy day.

Method # 3

• Add 2 tablespoons of dayap or calamansi to 2 liters of water and let stand for 30 minutes.

Method # 4

• Add 2 drops of Clorox bleach to 1 liter of water and let stand for 30 minutes.

Method # 5

• Add 5 drops of 2% iodine Betadine to 1 gallon water.

Let’s hope that you will never find the need to use this basic survival tip of making your own drinking water.
