Researchers have developed a solar-powered system that converts salt water into fresh drinking water, reducing the risk of waterborne diseases like cholera.
This cost-effective technology, using electrodialysis and specialized membranes, produces consistent water levels regardless of solar power fluctuations. Tested successfully in rural communities, it offers a sustainable solution for water scarcity and contamination, which is particularly beneficial in developing countries.
The system’s scalability and potential to decarbonize agriculture highlight its broader environmental impact and importance in addressing global water challenges.
