How can I get drinking water without any purifying tablets and other stuff like that. I am on an island, there is no water supply, and I have no tools. There is a lot of sea, and no rivers. But it does rain a little. Can I do something with rain or dew?
Distill the rain , thereby getting rid of the impurities present and your water is now safe to drink.

Why? Why not?
Seltzer is essentially just plain ordinary carbonated water, sometimes with some sugar and flavoring added. Essentially, other than it is water, it has no significant nutritional value. It is just as good (or bad) as drinking soda or plain water from the tap in the kitchen. "Pure" water on the other hand, is either demineralized or distilled. Either way, most trace minerals are removed and therefore has almost zero value other than for the water itself. Try making coffee with distilled water sometime and see exactly how BAD coffee can be. Without the trace minerals in tap water, coffee tastes BAD. Sailors at sea learned this a long time ago when they started distilling fresh water from sea water when steam power made its way into the shipping industry. Adding a few ounces of sea water back into the distilled water made the coffee taste better. It does not take much. A pinch of salt on top of the grounds will do nicely. Or use freeze dried coffee since freeze dried carries all of the minerals with the coffee as the water is evaporated out.
what about water with lemon juice (does it matter)?
I am frequent traveller and love to travel by road to remote places. Some time I face problems in procuring clean drinking water in such areas. Bottled water is either not available or is of some unknown brand that you cannot trust. I therefore need some device which can deliver appx 10 bottles of drinking water a day using electricity or car battery. System should be light weight, small in size and easily portable.
I will recommend that you visit the following sites for assistance:

This one on Amazon is really nice:

It's even listed as "California state approved laboratories certified to test under the strictest EPA, ANSI & NSF standard methods and protocol" giving the filter more credibility.
Good luck!
No. It does have many positive benefits but Nothing will ever take the place of water. You need it and plenty of it supplementing with green tea can be very good for you though. I drink a cup every morning (for the last year and a half ) and have noticed alot of benefits. It was last years news years resolution.
Water Filter Benefits
Benefits of Drinking Pure Water
All processes within your cells are depending on water in one way or another. Also, your bodies are made to two-thirds out of water. So, it is no wonder that you depend on a constant supply of drinking water, and that dehydration can cause all sorts of illnesses or diseases, or can make you feel bad. Drinking enough clean pure water every day is so important to your health that one doctor wrote a whole book about it: ‘Your Body’s Many Cries for Water’ by Dr. F. Batmaghelidj.

And obviously the quality and purity of your drinking water is of highest importance. You can imagine that drinking polluted water is not going to help your body to improve its health. I am going to emphasize the benefits of drinking pure or – as it is in reality – of purified filtered water by pointing out the negative health impact of common contaminants in tap water. Although water companies are regulated and have to control the quality of the water they supply to your home, there are limits in how the water companies have to treat the tap water, resulting in residual contamination.
