To filter water using rocks, specifically pebbles, you can employ a straightforward method involving two containers and a porous layer.
Method for Filtering Water with Rocks
This technique, as described on September 30, 2020, allows for basic water filtration using readily available materials.
What You'll Need
To perform this filtration method, gather the following items:
- Two containers: One to hold the unfiltered water, and the other to collect the filtered water.
- Water: The water you intend to filter.
- Porous layer: A shirt or some sort of porous layer (like a piece of cloth). This acts as a sieve.
- Pebbles: Small stones to place on the porous layer.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps to filter your water:
- Prepare the first container: Take your first container and fill it with water that you wish to filter.
- Set up the second container: Place your shirt or some sort of porous layer over the other (second) container. Ensure it is securely positioned to create a filter bed.
- Add the pebbles: Put your pebbles on top of the cloth (the porous layer) that is covering the second container.
- Begin filtering: Carefully filter your water by pouring it over the stones (pebbles) and through the porous layer into the container below.
This process allows the larger particles to be strained out by the pebbles and porous material, leading to filtered water in the second container.
