Water Purification
|
With all the wrong info out there on how to treat water in an emergency, we have decided to give you access to Army Technical Bulletin TB MED 577. You may download it from the link below. It is a PDF file and the actual formulas and water treatment dosages start around page 30 of the PDF file (page 21 of the document). Please note, as with most military manuals, there are some typos (or intentional misdirections) in the manual. Two of the most significant are the amount of 70% calcium hypochlorite to add to a half canteen cup (12 oz.) of water (should be one level TBL. instead of one rounded tsp.) and the amount of drops per gallon (should be 8 instead of 6). This are corrections that you are given if you take the military course on the TB MED577. Download here:
It is over 200 pages long and contains a wealth of info on water treatment.
