Project Abstract

Abstract
Access to clean water is a fundamental human right essential for sustaining life and promoting health. However, many regions around the world continue to face challenges in accessing safe and clean drinking water, particularly in arid and water-scarce regions. Desalination has emerged as a viable solution to address the growing water scarcity crisis by converting seawater or brackish water into potable water. Solar-powered desalination systems offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to water production by harnessing the abundant energy of the sun. This research project aims to design and analyze a solar-powered desalination system for clean water production, with a focus on improving efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
