PURIFYING DRINKING WATER

There are different ways of purifying water to drink purposes. Distillation is one. Distilled water
is made by condensing the water vapor from the boiling water. Bacteria are removed by filtering. Adding
chemicals to the water also makes it pure. But the best way of purifying water at home is boiling. When
the water is boiled, harmful bacteria are killed.
