Hi,
We have discussed washing one’s hands before bread by pouring water on them. One may also immerse his hands.
This immersion need not be in a kosher mikvah. One may also immerse his hands in a ditch or pool containing 40 se’ah (estimates vary, from 120 gallons and up), if water arrived there via a flow of water along the ground. Even if the water is not kosher as ‘mikvah water,’ and it actually came from a receptacle, one may immerse his hands so long as the water ran at least 3 tefach (about 11 inches) along the ground before arriving in its resting place.
(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 159:7; Mishneh Berurah 159:40-42)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
