Water Desalination: A Sustainable Solution for Clean Water Access to clean water is becoming more challenging due to climate change, overuse, and pollution. The World Resources Institute released a study in 2023 indicating that over a quarter of the world's population faces extremely high water stress. With freshwater sources depleting and demand rising, desalination offers a reliable solution, especially when powered by renewable energy. What is Water Desalination? Desalination removes salt and impurities from seawater, making it safe for consumption. The two most common methods are: 🔹 Reverse Osmosis (RO): Uses a semi-permeable membrane to filter out salt and contaminants. 🔹 Thermal Distillation: Boils seawater, then condenses the vapor into freshwater. While large-scale desalination plants are common in water-scarce regions, the challenge has always been cost and energy consumption. The Need for Innovation 👨🔬 Traditional desalination is energy-intensive, often relying on fossil fuels. However, solar-powered desalination is changing the game. By harnessing renewable energy, desalination can now be more accessible, affordable, and eco-friendly.
