New site on water purification
My friend Rob West has just set up a website on how and why to treat potentially contaminated water in the wild or when travelling — see www.backcountrywater.com. I think it is a great idea for a site — a relatively specialized subject and very detailed. It reminds me of drinking swimming pool-flavoured water during my various Duke of Edinburgh walking trips.
Of course, a traditional water treatment method I didn’t see mentioned on the site is to make beer out of it (although a bit impractical in the wild, and would come under “boiling” I guess)…
