1. To make fresh water safe to drink, first you need to choose a suitable source, like a river, lake, stream or borehole.
   The water is then passed through filter beds, which remove any undissolved solids.
   After that, the water is sterilised using chlorine, ozone or UV light, which kills harmful microbes and makes the water safe to drink.
