Hello, My advice is: 1. Collect the contaminated water in a large container 2. Use Hydrogen Peroxide or a known treatment (IE: Bacquacil) to shock the water. I would refrain from chlorine as this can become costly to remove. 3. Obtain a 9-11 stage water purification filter system (Crystal Quest, Co.- low cost high output)to further purify the water for drinking. 4. Isolate the finished water in a secure distribution center 5. Use hydrogen peroxide and activated charcoal filters in the natural source water locations prior to the above critical potable treatment process. 6. These mini treatment systems could be set up in multiple locations . This is a basic concept which can be easily deployed and executed by the teams of responders already in place. This idea could help to serve groups across wider areas of the impacted zones in Nepal. There is also the method of distributing military field water purification filters and the Chemical purification tabs to individuals or small groups. U.S. soldiers are given this system to use in any water to produce usable drinking water.
