    To purify lake water, solar water disinfection can be used which involves filling PET bottles with lake water and placing them in the sun for six hours. River water can be purified through distillation, which is an effective method to remove bacteria, germs, salts, and heavy metals using heat. Hand pump water can be purified by first boiling the water to eliminate germs and then filtering the cooled water to remove contaminants. Pond water can be purified using a biological filtration system along with a mechanical filter to remove solids before entering the biological filtration unit.

    Based on the video, what measures are you going to do to purify the water in each
    source? Explain your answer in THREE sentences for each source.

    ● Lake
    Water from lake may be purified through solar water disinfection method. It
    simply requires sunlight and clear plastic water bottles. To take advantage of
    solar power, simply fill polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles with water and
    place them in the sun for six hours long enough for the sun's ultraviolet rays to kill
    the parasites, bacteria, and viruses in water.

    ● River
    River water can be purified through distillation. It is a water purification method
    that utilizes heat to collect pure water in the form of vapor. This method is
    effective in removing bacteria, germs, salts, and other heavy metals such as
    lead, mercury, and arsenic.

    ● Hand pump
    Hand pump water can be purified using the filtering process, which involves
    passing the water through layers of gravel and sand packed in an earthen pot.
    However, boiling or filtration alone does not eliminate all contaminants. So, we
    must boil the water first, then filter it once it has cooled, removing both germs and
    suspended contaminants.

    ● Pond
    A good biological filtration system, along with a proper mechanical filter to
    remove solids before the water enters the biological filtration unit, can be used to
    purify water from pond. The primary purpose of mechanical filtration, also known
    as a pond skimmer, is to remove material before it settles to the pond's bottom
    and decays. The biological filter subsequently collects water that has already
    passed through the mechanical filter, also known as a skimmer, which is normally
    located on the pond's opposite side.

    ● Well
    Boiling the well water for 5 minutes will purify it. This is the cheapest and safest
    way to purify water. All of the microorganisms inside will be destroyed as a result
    of this.
    ● Rain
    Ultraviolet (UV) light can be used to disinfect rainwater. It acts by infiltrating an
    organism's cell walls and altering the genetic makeup of the cell, rendering it
    incapable of reproduction and harmless. UV lights have no effect on the chemical
    composition of water and leave it unchanged and there are no by-products left
    behind.

    ● Sea
    Water from sea can be purified by adding a purification tablet. They're small,
    inexpensive, effective, and simple to use because you just put them in the water.
    The dosage is determined by the amount of water being treated as well as the
    degree of contamination.

    ● Tap
    Tap water can be purified using chlorine tablets or liquid chlorine. As an
    off-the-shelf water purification product, chlorine is cheap and effective. When
    using chlorine liquid or tablets to treat drinking water, however, extreme caution is
    advised.

    ● Tube well
    Just like well water, water from tube well may be purified by boiling it for 5
    minutes. With this, all the bacteria inside it will be eliminated. However, boiling
    will not be able to remove the solids and other materials inside the well water.
