Solar Aided Water Desalination: A Sustainable Approach

Kajal A. Desai, Anjali M. Tandel

Abstract


Desalination is one of the maximum conventional techniques to generate potable water and it's also crucial way to alleviate the dearth of water resources. Because of paucity of clean water assets international water planners are an increasing number of thinking about desalination as an effective opportunity for sea water in addition to floor water. In India
coastal regions have a huge problem of water scarcity because of negative water availability, low ground water levels and excessive call for. The traditional desalination technology like Multi level flash, a Multiple effect, Vapor compression, Ion change, Reverse osmosis, Electro dialysis are expensive for the production of small amount of clean water, additionally use of conventional electricity sources has a negative effect on the environment. Solar aided desalination represents a maximum innovative and appealing method among other desalination tactics, and it is specially acceptable to small-scale units at places wherein solar power is substantial. The purpose of this evaluation is to spotlight the extraordinary solar powered desalination techniques as it is probably fee powerful and not pricey technique for future development. The paper emphasizes on the vital issue of salinity and problematic the sun pushed strategies which may be sustainable.
