How to make a homemade water filter?

• i have this science project at school and i have to filter soil from water. ive tried using cotton and filter paper but the colour of the water was yellow. how can i fix it so the water is clear?

• Answer:

  In asia they use alum to make the dirt stick together and filter out easier. Some pickle recipes call for a little to make the pickles crunchy. My wife used to live out on a wooden house on stilts surrounded by water in a bay. They had a barrel filled with a layer of coconut husks and a layer of sand on top. The water would be mixed with the alum and poured into the barrel where the dirt would be filtered out and fresh drinking water would come out a pipe on the bottom. You will probably find alum in the baking section of the supermarket, but I don't know if it will make you grow a third eye and make your hair fall out.
