Water Purification could soon be one of the biggest issues of our time and the sooner we get prepared for shortages of clean water, the better.  We should all be prepared with emergency measures in case of a natural or industrial disaster. We have cited several Do-It-Yourself relatively simple technologies to rely on when necessary or on an ongoing basis. There are many different types of Water Purification Methods for both residential and industrial capacities from simple boing water to huge filtration plants and this page outlines many of them.

Water Distillation catches the condensation produced by boiling water, removing minerals and contaminants in the process. Reverse Osmosis Filtration System forces water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane, leaving organic contaminants, toxins, bacteria, salts, etc. behind. Carbon Filtering uses Activated Charcoal Water Filter used for removing chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), viruses, bacteria, and taste and odour from water. Ultraviolet Light Filters kill mould, bacterial and viral contaminants, including giardia and cryptosporidium, by passing water through an ultraviolet light source. Multiple-Level Filtration Systems include Ceramic Water Filters that address contaminants in various stages. Purification tablets or drops are yet another solution for some.
