Effective Hybrid Solar Groundwater Desalination in Rural Areas

This research presents an exclusive study of a hybrid solar groundwater desalination system. Solar desalination technology is the most promising technology in the world that will be useful for drinking applications. The objective of this study is to collect various solar desalination systems attained by main researchers and scientists through numerical and experimental investigations to perform desalination systems to obtain the amount of fresh water. The available desalination technologies are not that effective in rural areas due to a lack of electricity. This research studies various parameters using a single effect boiling method to obtain fresh water that will be useful for drinking application in rural areas. In especially rural areas soft /freshwater for drinking application is a major issue, a hybrid solar groundwater technology is the effective way of desalination. From the pilot experiment, it is seen that parameters such as pH, TDS, Hardness, Calcium values are obtained as per the limits of ISO 10500:2012 and an average of 1.6-1.9 liters of soft water is produced per day using a novel single ETC + CPC desalination system.
