What if solving three of the world’s most pressing challenges, water scarcity, energy demand, and environmental sustainability, could be achieved with a single, innovative system? Imagine a technology ...

Fresh water we can use for drinking or agriculture is only about 3 percent of the global water supply, and nearly 70 percent of that is trapped in glaciers and ice caps. So far, that was enough to ...

Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to ...

Researchers at MIT have created a solar-powered device that can make seawater drinkable. The team says the device can remove the salt from seawater for less than the cost of US tap water. This process ...

HOUSTON – (May 14, 2025) – Fresh drinking water is a vital yet limited resource that will only grow scarcer over the next few years, according to the World Resources Institute. Desalination, the ...

The shortcomings of conventional desalination units. How a new approach was developed and tested, using advanced electronics and chemistry. The performance achieved by this unit in field tests.

Solar still desalination primarily depends on evaporation and condensation to purify saline water for potable water generation. In this water treatment process, the incident solar irradiation ...

It’s easy to use electricity — solar-generated or otherwise — to desalinate water. However, traditional systems require a steady source of power. Since solar panels don’t always produce electricity, ...
