<p>Is it safe to drink water from streams in <a href="http://www.dartmoor.gov.uk/" rel="nofollow">Dartmoor</a> using simple purification methods?</p> <p>I'm planning a trip and am looking to filter using a <code>Millbank</code> bag and then boil for four minutes to kill off any nasties. This way I can reduce the weight and the cost.</p> <p>I'm particularly interested in the water pollution in Dartmoor, as a national park I am assuming that there will be no run off from farms that is common in the UK.</p>
