That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Boiling water is the best way to purify it for drinking because the high temperatures kill or inactivate most types of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Boiling is a simple and effective method that can be done with basic equipment and is accessible to most people. Chemical purifiers can also be used to kill pathogens, but they may leave an unpleasant taste or odor in the water. Filter systems can remove impurities and particles from the water, but they may not effectively eliminate all pathogens. Therefore, boiling is the most reliable method for water purification.
