You should boil the water for 15 minutes to be sure not to contract ghiardia, or the like. There are also water purification tablets you can buy at any sporting goods store.

Drink less water.  You're waterlogged.

Yes, If you dont have anything else. \nYou will die faster without any water than from chemicals that are normally present in swimming pool water.

well any water will have life in it except bottled. the best would be from a pond, stream, or river. or the ocean if you live near it. Have fun.

they probably go to the purifying(cleaning water)facilities. if you didn't pay your taxes then your water could probably have human waste in it (things that belong in the toilet)

Here is what I would suggest.  First let the water stand still for a while to settle heavy particle as sand, pebbles, rocks etc.  Then using coffee filter or thick paper towel, decant water.  That should take care of smaller stuff.  Then you use fine powder charcoal and add to your water (filterate).  Let it sit for 10 minutes and stirr occasionally.  Then filter the water using coffee filter or paper towel and you will have odor free-clear, very pure (~ 99%+ water) that can be used for drinking.  If you want absolute pure, before charcoal step, heat the water to boil, cool and then do charcoal step and you will have killed all bio organisms also.

Okay little shaver...whoever told you this is pulling your leg. The next step is to get you to 'experiment' don't do it or you'll be known as a pee drinker for the rest of your life. There is a famous quote about sailors adrift without drinking water "water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink" it doesn't say "Here willy pee in me mug I gots me a terrible thirst to slack"

Call a friend or relative that lives nearby. You can probably borrow their shower for a bit. Or, if it comes down to it, go buy some water bottles (the gallons) and give yourself a sponge bath.

I dont think so. Giardia is a microscopic beastie that gets into you from contaminated water. I think you have to have some kind of treatment.

U Replace shower heads and faucet aerators with water efficient models.\nU Use a water-filled milk jug or plastic bottle in your toilet tank to displace water; this allows your toilet\nto operate using less water.\nU Choose nonphosphate or low phosphate detergents. High phosphate levels in lakes and streams\ncan kill fish and other wildlife.\nU Use a broom instead of water to clean your driveway or garage . Do not sweep debris into the\nstreet or storm sewer.\nU Put a spray nozzle on the end of your hose for car washing and plant watering to prevent the hose\nfrom continually releasing water and to control the amount of water used.\nU Use native plants in your garden that require less water.\nU Use cat litter or sand instead of salt on icy walks. Salt pollutes water and kills plants.\n\nU Do not let the water run while brushing your teeth or washing your face (you can save up to 5\ngallons).\nU Do not leave the water running if you wash dishes by hand.\nU Rinse all your dishes at once by using a dishrack placed in the sink.\nU Only run your dishwasher and washing machine when they are full.\n\nU Do not open fire hydrants on hot summer days because water needed to fight a fire will not be\navailable in an emergency. Also, opening fire hydrants is illegal.\nU Do not throw in the trash, pour down the drain, or dump on the ground paint, antifreeze, motor oil,\nand other household hazardous wastes, because they can migrate to your water source.\nU Dispose of tissues, dead insects, and other waste in a trash can rather than a toilet.\nU Plant native plants instead of traditional lawn grass to avoid the use of herbicides, pesticides,\nfertilizers.\nU Do not dump used motor oil on the ground or into sewers; throwing motor oil in the trash is illegal.\nRecycling centers and many service stations accept used motor oil for recycling.\nImproving Your Housekeeping\nU Fix leaks by replacing faucet washers and toilet flappers as needed. A slow drip or leak can easily\nwaste more than 100 gallons of water a week, which leads to an unnecessarily high water bill.\nU Put all litter in trash cans so it does not get washed into the storm sewers.\nU Clean up waste products while walking your pets.\nEducating Yourself and Others\nU Educate your community about the effects of dumping waste, such as pesticides, down drains and\ninto waterways.\nU Encourage your neighbors, family, and friends to install low flow water fixtures and to practice\nwater conservation.\n\n\nMaybe you can not stop but it is easy to help decrease pollution.
