A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.

The floating desalination machines powered by the waves
As more places face a scarcity of fresh water, desalination is seen as a possible answer. But energy and financial requirements limit how widely it can be used.
Desalination is the process of removing salt and other minerals from seawater to make it drinkable. It is an increasingly popular solution to water scarcity, as it can provide fresh water in areas …

It’s a promising technology, but the current costs are too prohibitive.
Most Gulf states use desalination technoogy to provide residents with drinking water.
Desalination might be the solution to the worsening water crisis in the world.
