Answer 1

Answer:

Never drink water from a natural source that you haven’t purified, even if the water looks clean. Water in a stream, river or lake may look clean, but it can still be filled with bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can result in waterborne diseases, such as cryptosporidiosis or giardiasis.

YOU CAN FIRST FILTER THE WATER USING FILTERATION METHOD.

Answer 2

Concept Introduction:-

Potable water is water that has undergone sufficient filtration and treatment to remove any pollutants and potentially harmful germs.

Explanation:-

We have been given a question that you are thirsty and standing on rivers side how will you obtain potable water.

We need to find the solution to the question.

There are various methods through which normal water can be converted to potable water or drinking water

Filtration: Filtration is very helpful in purifying water. Basically, there are two types of filters that can be found on the market. Some are those which rely on carbon filters and remove the bacteria and others are those which use chemicals like iodine for the treatment of water. Filters are very heavy and require frequent replacement and are also very expensive.

Distillation:  Distillation of water involves boiling water and collecting the vapour and leaving the bacteria and contaminants behind. Distilled water is one of the purest forms of water, 98% of the contaminants are removed from the home distillation system and it gives water which is purer than that from filters.

Boiling: The easiest way to purify water is by boiling. It neutralises a majority of viruses and bacteria in the supply but it cannot remove all the heavy contaminants.

Final Answer:-

The correct answer is Filtration, Distillation, Boiling.
