http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfectionI was getting work done on wifes car and at the store they had a National Geograpgic magazine and the title was something like "Our need for water" or something along those lines. If anyone on here has the magazine maybe they can be more specific.
So, there was a page and it explained that now in Africa they are taking water from well or puddle etc and putting in a clear water bottle (like aquafina etc) and putting them on sheets of tin that are in direct sunlight for 6 hours and it kills the bacteria and viruses using the suns UV.
Thought some of yall might like to know there is yet another alternative to making safe water.
I know the WATER threads are too many, but..

I have taken a sloar reflective windshield cover....and cut a strip the width of a 20oz bottle, and the long enough to wrap aound it one time. I put this strip inside my bottle carrier, it acts as insulation....but also can be pulled out, spread out and used as a relfective surface for treating a 20 oz bottle of water in the method described above.
