23. (e) Name one simple way by which this water (muddy water) can be made safe for drinking.

Answer 1

• Muddy water contains many bacterias and suspended soil particles.
• The most simple way to turn it into safe drinking water is to first filter the water with filter paper. This process is called filtration. It removes all the sediment and suspended particles from water.
• Secondly, we will boil the filtered water, this will kill any bacteria present in it.
• Thus, we will get water that is safe for drinking.
