1st We in the big city use DURASTILL and that boils the water and filters it OK for pre treated water. Down side is they do not have the energy to support it and it will not make enough in a short period of time.
2nd Something to process River Water to a point that a filter system can then treat it for drinking. Filters are going to be a premium and hard to get to them.
3rd Boiling it would have to be with a wood fire and would be a labor intensive process and hard to do so you would have enough.
My thoughts were some process to strain and filter the batch with possably a 2 drums process then treat it with Clorox and I could get them a filter like passably the PUR Dispenser for the final product. I am looking for one of those Medics or 18C's who can advise as to a field expedient process that will make sure they will not get some jungle bug with their process.
You know how those medics are they can scare you with all those Little bugs that get in you and make your health all F&%$d up for long periods of time.
Getting out the sediment seams to be the big issue to hurdle 1st and it needs to be done with local obtainable items.
My good old Kentucky field craft was to build a still and condense a good pure drinkable drink that would quench your thirst and kill all those little bugs as you drink. If all else fails you would be soooo drunk it would not matter...
But it is really hard to get the Copper to build the Still to prepare the water.
