Africa’s water crisis is often framed in terms of scarcity, but the continent’s coastlines and brackish aquifers tell a different story: the water is there, it is just not drinkable. Solar ...

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 ...

Engineers built a solar-powered desalination system that produces large quantities of clean water despite variations in sunlight throughout the day. Because it requires no extra batteries, it offers a ...

A research team co-led by a UC Irvine chemistry professor has built a new kind of electrochemical device that strips salt ...

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 ...

Scientists led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a new PV-powered desalination system based on the time-variant electrodialysis reversal (EDR) technology. The proposed ...

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 ...

Drought and climate change are impacting water supplies around the world. But desalination — pulling fresh, drinkable water from saltwater— can offer some relief. Desalination technology has existed ...

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 ...
