A solar Still  - while grossly inefficient is very easy to build, and if built right can decontaminate most water sources (I still boil water collected from one for a good 10 minutes before cooling to drink.

Tablets and bleach are only going to be viable for a limited time (while available so to speak)  and aren't very effective with water that has a high turbidity or has chemical pollutants in it.
