The easiest way is via a solar distiller. Even the small, manufactured models you can purchase will produce a quart or more of pure water from a mud puddle.

Answer:

It depends what it is "dirty" with:

• Pathogens can beremoved with chlorine or heat (boilling)
• Dissolved solids and suspended solids can be removed with distillation
• Organic solvents will carry over with distillation to the condensate and must be removed with carbon filtration

Answer 2

1. Purifying water involved removing both physical impurities (rocks and dirt) and chemical impurities (salts, minerals, toxic chemicals). The two approaches are: distillation (remove and recondense the water) and filtration (using physical devices and chemical filters, including activated carbon, and pH neutralizers. Common tap water filters will remove some organic contaminants, but not all toxic chemicals.

3. A simple physical purifier can be made from an empty bottle and compressed cloth.
4. 1. Cut the plastic bottle in half. Turn the top half upside down and put it inside the bottom half.
5. 2. Put the tablecloth in the plastic bottle. This is your filter. ...
6. 3. Clean the plastic bottle. Make another batch of dirty water.
7. Try using other different materials as a filter.

Answer 3

Filter the dirty water through the cleanest fabric that you have, then boil it.

Answer 4

A filter. If you want to make salt water into fresh water you boil it, do the same if you just want to disenfect it.
