Water purification for expeditions
Purifying water whilst on expeditions prevents illness and picking the most suitable system for the environment you are going to is important. In the UK drinking straight from streams can cause illness but from high mountain streams in the least visited areas it is unlikely however as the mountains become busier and at lower, more visited elevations the risk of getting ill increases. When on expedition in Low to Middle-Income countries even tap water is not safe to drink. Purifying water when passing through urban areas on expeditions means that environmental impact from buying bottled water is reduced. In this article on water purification for expeditions, I'll detail different systems for safe drinking water and the pros and cons of each.
