Solar Water Distillation for Getting Fresh Water in Rural Area

Water is very essential for human life as it is a god like thing. Due to high growth of population and industrial developments especially from the early 20th century, people living in rural areas and remote villages suffer with shortage of drinking water. People living in urban and rural areas depend on surface and ground water sources, where these sources are majorly polluted by industrial waste. The use of reverse osmosis technique and other conventional technique appears to be costlier technologies and requires a very large land mass. An economical method of converting the saline water to potable water is by using solar energy. Solar still desalination is one method of converting saline water into Potable water by evaporation and condensation. Many researchers carried out Extensive studies on the solar still desalination technique and this paper communicates a detailed review about the existing desalination technique by solar energy.
