Donโ€™t drink tap water in Sudan unless it has been boiled, filtered or chemically disinfected (such as with iodine tablets). Donโ€™t drink from streams, rivers and lakes. Itโ€™s also best to avoid drinking from pumps, boreholes and wells; some bring pure water to the surface, but the presence of animals can contaminate supplies. Bottled water is widely available, except in very remote areas, where you should carry a filter or purification tablets.
