Re: How to convert lake water into purified drinking water
Hello sotobrizeida,
Welcome to the forum. I think that the answer to your question would depend on many factors including the kinds and amounts of contaminants in the water, and the amount of water to be purified. An overview of the topic is at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification
Water purification is a very broad topic so you should narrow the possibilities for your project. There is a very good guide for getting started here:

Good luck with your project and please ask if you have more questions.
