[Artemisia] Water Treatment - SCA Skills in a Modern Plague

[Richard Samul]

In doing some research on water disinfection for a completely  
unrelated line of inquiry, I came upon this:

http://www.sodis.ch/index_EN

Sure, you can disinfect water by boiling it, but that takes precious  
fuel (wood, coal or other) - why not let the sun do the work for you?

SODIS (SOlar DISinfection of water) is currently the most widely used  
method of water treatment in many third-world countries, and can  
easily be adapted to the post-plague/apocalypse scenario we are  
discussing. All you need is some relatively clear water; PET plastic  
soda bottles,  glass bottles, or clear plastic bags (SODIS bags); and  
6 hours of sunlight - which turns out to be quite plentiful here in  
our bright Artemisian summers.

A bit of useful information to tuck away (along with some bottles).
