Original Query: S.N. Srinivas, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), Bangalore, Karnataka
Posted: 6 October 2005

I work at the Southern Regional Center of The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). We are collaborating on a project to explore the use of solar desalination devices to produce potable water from saline and brackish water.

My Query is, does anyone have experience in using solar stills to produce potable water? What are the other techniques and technologies that may be/are being used effectively to produce potable water from brackish and saline water?
