A basic water filter can be made with ordinary materials:
- ROCKS filter out large particles like twigs, leaves and insects.
- SAND provides mechanical filtration and removes small, fine contaminants.
- CHARCOAL uses absorption to remove even finer impurities in the water.
- CLOTH is another mechanical filter. Cloth can also be used between layers

The fundamental concept of this water filter can be expanded to meet a larger demand: putting all layers in a 5-gallon bucket or using a bucket foreach layer and connecting them.
- The first level consists of gravel to remove larger solids, such as leaves, twigs, bugs and debris that might be in the water.
- The second layer is sand, which will remove floating and dissolved particles of solids as the water passes through it.
- At this point, all that is left to be a problem is the microscopic pathogens, which are reduced by over 99 percent by the final layer, that of activated charcoal.
