Researchers developed a desalination system that is more efficient and less expensive than previous methods. In addition to providing fresh water, the process could be used to treat contaminated ...

Sustainable Development Goal 6 from the United Nations aims to provide global access to safe and affordable drinking water. Solar-powered desalination can help achieve this, by using sunlight to ...

Fresh water we can use for drinking or agriculture is only about 3 percent of the global water supply, and nearly 70 percent of that is trapped in glaciers and ice caps. So far, that was enough to ...

Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to ...

The Agua+S project under development in the Spanish region of Andalucia is aimed at combining a desalination plant, a pumping station network, and an onshore, floating photovoltaic plant in a single ...

The shortcomings of conventional desalination units. How a new approach was developed and tested, using advanced electronics and chemistry. The performance achieved by this unit in field tests.

Solar still desalination primarily depends on evaporation and condensation to purify saline water for potable water generation. In this water treatment process, the incident solar irradiation ...

The proposed brackish water desalination system uses photovoltaic electrodialysis to enable direct-drive desalination at high production rates. It already operated for 6 months on real brackish ...

Water scarcity is driving investment in unconventional water resources. MENA and Asia-Pacific regions dominate the current desalination market. Renewable mega-projects seek to improve the cost and ...

Water scarcity remains one of the most pressing global challenges, affecting over two billion people worldwide. With population growth and climate change further exacerbating this problem, scientists ...
