- water in the rivers Krishna two step

[Guest guest]

Hari Krishna to all

The method of cooling your drinking water is similar to our desert

ancestors and their clay water pots if the clay was unglazed water would

sweat through the pot and cool the water as it sat or swung in its net bag in

the shade of the brush arbor (sorta sun shade made from a pile of brush piled

upon the top of branches to provide a cool working area during the summer.

As for getting dysentery, well, it is a water born ameba. If you boil the

water for twenty minutes you kill the little devils. letting the water set

four days really won't help unless it has been filtered to the point the

amebas will starve because of lack of food, but don't count on it even then.

If you place water in a copper vessel that has been freshly scoured. The

copper from the pot will kill most organisms. The pot must be freshly scoured

till shiny inside. If only the outside has been scoured it doesn't help.

The fresh shiny copper will kill many bacteria. If the copper has formed an

oxide you know that dull brown color the copper is sealed away from the water

and is not half as effective. If you are in a hurry and do not have a copper

pot, an Iodine tablet per liter or quart for twenty minutes will also work.

Yes yes I know.you would rather chew off your arm rather than put chemicals

in your body. Well, then you will have a souvenir of your trip. You will

have many amusing stories of scenic trips to exotic bathrooms and loos around

the world. As well as adventures behind road side bushes and the joys of

stomach cramps.

I remember as a boy driving truck during the suffocating heat of the harvest,

we

had these canvas bags that we would hang outside the truck. Water seeping

throught he canvas would evaporate and the effects of evaporative cooling would

keep the water cool. The old 42 Chevy trucks had a nice headlight that worked

well for hanging the bag from. Then we got thermos bottles.

Hopefully there will be some clover blossoms and plantain leaves (the herb,

not

the banana lookalike) around to chew on to get you back on the road.
