Graph #1 explains that the level of coli forms before the two methods were above a level considered safe for consumption, and after both methods, boiling and chlorine, the level had dropped to a level safe for consumption.
My hypothesis was that the two methods would kill all the coli forms present in the water to a level considered safe for consumption because pool owners use chlorine in their pools, and the Chlorine Chemistry Council stated that : "Micro organisms that cause life-threatening waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid and dysentery often find their way into water supply systems. Diseases associated with dirty water kill more than 25, 000 people per day -- more than 9 million each year -- around the world, according to the World Health Organization. Since 1908, however, when chlorine was first used in New Jersey to purify water, such epidemic diseases have been virtually wiped out in the U.S. and Canada."
I predicted that the boiling will work because in the past I have seen the news on the television suggesting sanitizing infected tap water this way.
From the data from Graph #1 I can prove that my hypothesis were correct.
