I'm sure all the camping shops would have them. Try Protrek - they have several branches; see the bottom of the following page:

Otherwise, either:

Unscented bleach containing 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, 2 drops per litre.

OR

2% USP Iodine, 5 drops per litre.



It's "either/or" - don't do both. Bleach is safer (fewer health risks), but harder to carry.



In each case, double these doses if the water is particularly cloudy/dubious.
