With the Katrina aftermath, the water supply in the New Orleans area is extremely polluted. Is it possible to make the water potable? If so, what is the best method(s)?
I would guess that the solids and petroleum products would need to be filtered out first. Maybe by straining through sand then charcoal would do that? Would a water filter or chemical tabs work then? If these won’t work then what, if anything, would?
I am going back to my wilderness survival classes for this but that did not deal with the mass of contamination that is there.
Thanks
