Water Filtration System Concepts

The video tutorial discusses various water sources available to Mike, including a contaminated creek, rainwater, and melting snow. Due to contamination from past mining activities, Mike and Steve work on rebuilding a water filtration system after the original was destroyed. The new system uses layers of grass, sand, and charcoal to filter out contaminants, ensuring clean drinking water. The process is explained in detail, highlighting the effectiveness of each filtration stage.
