– Chlorination is a type of chemical disinfection. Contaminated water is cleaned by mixing chlorine based products in it. It is safe to drink water treated in this way in small quantities, this helps prevent the outbreak of diseases.
– Keep contaminated water in a glass vessel and leave it in strong sunlight for 6-8 hours or two days. By doing this the bacteria and parasites present in the water die.
