Here is a quick handout on water purification. Water is life and hopefully this will be useful in studying how to obtain it and make it safe for drinking.
Clean drinking water is critical for survivors during emergencies like hurricanes. A lack of drinking water and functioning sewage systems can spread diseases easily among shelter populations. Storing emergency water is important - plastic containers that are cleaned, filled from the tap, and stored can provide safe drinking water. Boiling water for 1 minute or using chlorine drops can help disinfect water if purification isn't possible. Having an adequate supply of water stored at home is recommended for weather emergencies.
Clean drinking water is critical for survivors during emergencies like hurricanes. A lack of drinking water and functioning sewage systems can spread diseases easily among survivors living in close quarters in shelters. Storing emergency drinking water is important by filling plastic containers from the tap and keeping at least a three day supply per person. Water can be disinfected in an emergency by adding bleach drops and letting it stand if boiling is not possible.

This document discusses various methods for purifying water when camping or on expeditions. It notes that considerable water supplies are needed for drinking, cooking, and washing. Methods described include boiling, iodine tablets, chlorine tablets, silver compounds, filters, and pumps. Boiling is most effective but also inefficient. Iodine and chlorine tablets are good alternatives, though some people cannot tolerate iodine. Filters must have small enough pores to remove all organisms. The best method depends on expedition size, resources, and risks present. Proper treatment and storage are important for providing safe drinking water.
Water conservation is important to ensure availability of fresh water for future generations and reduce energy usage. Some key ways to conserve water include fixing leaks, using low-flow showerheads and faucets, taking shorter showers, running dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads, watering lawns before 8am, and using rain barrels to water gardens. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority promotes water conservation through workshops and campaigns to encourage the community to reduce water usage.
The document discusses the negative impacts of bottled water on the environment, health, and finances. It notes that bottled water production uses vast amounts of plastic and fossil fuels, contributing to pollution and climate change. Studies have also found associations between BPA in bottled water and increased risks of heart disease and diabetes. Canadians spend over $15 billion annually on bottled water that is often no safer than tap water. The document recommends using water filtration systems instead of bottled water to avoid these issues and protect the environment and personal health.
This document discusses how people use water resources and provides some proposals for better water conservation. It describes that people use water for many things like washing, drinking, cleaning, and recreation. However, water is often wasted, such as when washing is left running. The document also notes that water bottles are commonly reused but can grow dangerous bacteria and leach toxic chemicals from plastic over time. The proposals aim to reduce water contamination and waste by encouraging people to not leave water running unwasted and to stop littering in bodies of water.
This document provides information and guidance on emergency preparedness. It discusses the importance of being prepared for disasters like hurricanes, floods, or terrorism that may occur in one's area. It recommends having supplies to be self-sufficient for at least 14 days, including food, water, shelter, and sanitation. The document outlines the key aspects of an emergency preparedness plan, including understanding risks specific to one's location, making an evacuation or shelter-in-place plan, and addressing the seven pillars of preparedness - food and water, shelter, health and sanitation, communications, security, community, and faith. Specific guidance is provided on gathering supplies, water treatment and storage, food storage and preparation, shelter considerations like utility
Water is very important. But some peoples can’t understand the importance of water. Who are very rich but they are poor without a water. So let’s give a message’SAVE WATER TO SAVE LIFE’
The document provides tips on how to reduce personal water usage, which averages 113.6 liters per day. It recommends checking for silent toilet leaks, installing water-efficient showerheads which can save 10,000 gallons per year, turning off the tap while brushing teeth, only running dishwashers with full loads, and looking for hidden water leaks around the home. Adopting these tips can significantly reduce individual water consumption.
The document discusses the dangers of drinking bottled water. It notes that plastic water bottles contain chemicals that can leach into the water when stored, including antimony which is linked to health issues in high amounts. Additionally, many plastic water bottles are not recycled and end up polluting the environment. The document recommends using water filters and reusable water bottles instead of disposable plastic bottles to avoid these health and environmental risks.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How to Manage Your Lost Opportunities in Odoo 17 CRM
Water for Living and Survival. What You Need To Know
1. AFTER 3 DAYS
WITH NO WATER;
WE DIE.
What We Need To
Know about Water for
Preparation and Survival
(Updated 2022)
2. Over 3/4ers of our body is
composed of fluid.
Just passively existing, we
lose almost a half gallon
per day. That goes up
drastically if we are active.
Thus we need one gallon
of water per day at a
minimum.
3. A 5% drop in body fluid will cause a 25%
drop in energy level.
A 15% drop will cause death.
It is estimated that 80% of people are
chronically dehydrated.
4.
5. Assume all water in nature to be
contaminated.
Giardia is no fun.
During catastrophes, your regular water
sources are often contaminated.
How safe is your everyday drinking water?
6. I highly recommend no matter where you
live, have at least a basic under sink filter on
one tap, from which you draw all the water you
are going to drink.
7. The quickest and most effective emergency
preparation we can do is stock water.
A minimum of one case of 500ml bottles per
person (three days worth).
I recommended it be at least 2 cases per
person.
Just grab it the next time you’re in the store.
Do it now!
8. In an emergency, we have water in our house
that we don’t readily think of:
The water heater.
The water pipes.
The toilet tank (not the bowl).
9. 4 full 500ml water bottles. This is your immediate
emergency supply if you have no time to fill up your . . .
Containers. Either a built in water supply such as a
Camelbak or pockets/clips for water carriers. Most
packs have external loops on which you can secure
canteens and water carriers. Your first priority is to fill
up this container with potable water or from your
household water stash if bugging out. The four water
bottles are to sustain you to get to that point. They also
then become extra water containers.
WATER-Grab-n-Go Bag
10. A built in Camelback can be useful.
Canteens. I have a military issue 2 quart in my bag.
Click on image for it.
Water bottles.
Remember, water freezes if carried externally .
Water Carrier
11. On my JeepGladiator I carry a 15 liter plastic
container inside. I use that for camping. On my
back rack, I carry two 2 gallon rotopax
containers. I also have several water filters.
Water Carrier
12. Compressible water containers. For after establishing
base camp
Purification. Lifestraw or equivalent and two bottles
purification tablets.
Click on images below for links.
Water
13. You must have a way of filtering water for
your family.
Besides the life straw and pills, there are
ones that produce more volume. There is
also a slightly more expensive system that
doesn’t require pumping and works via
gravity. Either one can be a lifesaver for your
family.
15. Water in Nature
Purify all water you aren’t certain is pure.
Collected rainwater is usually safe if the
surface it comes off of isn’t contaminated.
Eating snow or ice without melting first will
reduce your core temperature and lead to
dehydration.
If you have to melt either to get drinkable
water, use ice rather than snow as it takes
less energy.
17. SoDis Water Disinfection
Solar Water Disinfection:
Find a clean, clear plastic bottle no more than
three liters (1 liter is slightly more than one
quart). It needs to be a PET bottle. You can tell
by looking on the bottom. Most will say if they
are PET or PETE. Otherwise it will have a
number. You want a #1.
The narrower the bottle, the better for solar
penetration.
18. SoDis Water Disinfection
Fill it three quarters full with clear water, or
water you have filtered through sand, cloth or
whatever you have available.
Shake the bottle in order to get as much
oxygen as possible into the water.
Fill the rest of the bottle and replace the lid.
Place the bottle in direct sunlight for six to
eight hours. You can increase the efficiency by
placing the bottle on a reflective surface such
as metal or aluminum foil.
If you have to move, hang the bottle on the
outside of your pack.
19. SoDis Disinfection
How SoDis works?
The sunlight treats the water through three ways; all involve
the sun’s radiation.
UVA reacts with the oxygen dissolved in the water to
produce a highly reactive form with free radicals and
hydrogen peroxide, which kills microorganisms.
UVA interferes with the reproductive cycle of bacteria by
crippling their DNA.
The sunlight heats the water and once it gets it above 122
degrees, the disinfection works three times faster.
20. Water and Plastic
While I recommend bottled water for your
emergency supply, the reality is that bottled water
contains micro plastic particles.
The bottles are also bad for the environment. For
our drinking water we use metal bottles that we fill
from our filtered tap. This gets rid of drinking micro-
plastic and is good for the environment.
When storing water in plastic, check the type:
use PET or PETA#s 1, 2, 4 and 7.
Avoid thin plastic such as milk or gallon water
jugs. They will eventually leak, especially if not
stored in a cool place.
21. Water First Aid
Signs of dehydration are:
Dark urine with a very strong odor
Low Urine Output
Dark, sunken eyes
Fatigue
Emotional instability
Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke and
Over-Hydration are covered in the book.
23. Water
Rules of thumb in nature in extreme
emergencies:
Running water is better than still water.
Water coming out of a spring is better
than running water.
Clear water is better than cloudy or
discolored water.
Avoid water with algae.
Avoid swamp or marshland water.
24. Water Scavenging
In essence, a sealed water bottle has no
expiration.
Also, consider houses with high end
filtering systems— get the filters, connect,
let gravity push water through them.
