solar powered water desalination |
 |
|
Mainly in third world (but not only) it is vital to rely on locally-constructed solar water desalination units and to install them in the remote communities, providing local households with improved access
to drinking water. While several experimental projects have been developed all over the globe I havent found a best practice approach to address this issue.
