Design and optimization of a solar-powered desalination system for remote communities.

Project Abstract

Access to clean and safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet many remote communities around the world struggle with water scarcity and quality issues. In response to this pressing global challenge, the design and optimization of a solar-powered desalination system for remote communities have been proposed as a sustainable solution. This research project aims to develop a cost-effective and environmentally friendly desalination system that can provide clean drinking water to communities located in arid regions where conventional water sources are scarce.
