Water purification plants

Can you offer any suggestions/pointers for portable/small-ish water purification plants for use by nomads, either to move around or leave at wells? My mind is drawn towards the "survival kit" sold to campers but I'm not familiar with recent developments.

I've yet to get a proper analysis but from other reports I suspect that both mineral and bacteriological pollution is likely, with the latter being the cause of the main local health problem - childhood diahorrea.

In Iraq we put in RO plants and arranged for deliveries (I wonder if they are still functioning?) but here there isn't the same public service culture to run it.

Any help at all that would focus my internet search would be very welcome.

Regards,

Allan
