Solar Water

Water Purification Tool

According to the WHO, 2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to clean and safe water. Unsafe water quality can lead to various diseases. Solar Water is heated by solar light and results in condensation in a closed container to distill clean water from dirty water. Users only need to fill the container with river water and then wait for a period, the water evaporates and condenses as clean potable water. Solar water is inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and suitable for large-scale application to solve the problem of unsafe water in poor areas.
