water filtration how-to

what you need to do is mix some clay with coffee grinds, mold it into a cylinder with one capped end, place it on a dung-heap and light the shit on fire. This "fires" the clay like a kiln. The coffee grinds get burned out leaving a structure of pores that are small enough to let water pass through, but too small for the passage of E.coli etc.

This is a low-tech, low-cost method of filtering water.
