Water disinfection, Water purification

Water purifying agent

The cold, clear water found in mountain streams and lakes may look appealing but often contains Giardia lamblia, the parasite that causes giardiasis. On short hikes, you may be able to carry from home enough water to drink. But when you are camping and backpacking, you often need to use other water sources. Water from pumps in campgrounds is usually safe, but if a sign tells you that the water is not safe or if you have any doubts, treat the water before you use it.

To avoid infection with Giardia lamblia and other parasites, use one of these purification methods-

• Boil the water before using it for drinking, cooking, washing hands or dishes, or brushing your teeth. 
• Add a chemical disinfectant to the water.
• Filter the water using a commercial filter specially designed for treating water.
• Treat the water with a portable ultraviolet light that is designed to purify water.

Dissolve 7.5 mg Halazone Tablet in 1.5 litres, 15 mg tablet in 3 litres, & 50 mg tablet in 10 litres drinking water and use half to 1 hour after preparation.

Other technique to purify water:

• 15 mL of crystalline iodine for 1 Litter of water. Treat for 30 minutes before using the water.
• 0.5 mL of 2% tincture of iodine for 1 Litter of water. Treat for 70 minutes to 8 hours before using the water.
• 2 to 4 drops of household chlorine bleach for 1 L of water. Treat for 30 minutes before using the water. Iodine is considered to work better than chlorine against giardia.
