“…The typical overall efficiency of solar still was calculated according to Mink (1998). The solar radiation with an intensity of 32 kcal/day was made to pass through a transparent polythene of 1039.6 cm 2 that covers a 6800 cm 3 of water collected through evaporator made with 78% refined clay constituent.…”

The study is a continual quest towards the provision of affordable, health-friendly fresh potable water in rural areas; using available, affordable and durable materials for the construction of a solar distiller for freshwater production. The aim of this study was to develop a solar distiller for the production of potable water in waterborne diseases infested rural communities in northern Nigeria. Solar radiation with an intensity of 32 kcal/day was made to pass through a transparent polythene of 1039.6 cm2 that covers a 6800 cm3 of water collected through evaporator made with 78% refined clay constituent distilling 1.3 litres/day of pure water. An efficiency of 77% was determined after several test runs. Information from this study will serve as a guide to researchers on the production of portable water from the solar distiller. Also, it will guide the government and agencies on policy and decision making on water resources. Keywords: Distilling water, solar radiation, collector and evaporator

There are two main problems of inclined solar water distillation systems. There is not a water film layer enough to facilitate the evaporation of water on the absorber plate, and high temperature of glass cover decreases the amount of condensed water. In this article, an inclined solar water distillation system was designed and tested under actual environmental conditions of Turkey in order to overcome these two main problems. Therefore, with this study, improving of inclined solar water distillation system performance was investigated. The system was tested with four variants: bare plate (BP), shaded bare plate (SBP), black‐cloth wick (BCW), and shaded black‐cloth wick (SBCW). Experimental studies showed that the use of bare cloth wick, shading plate, and both together increase the system efficiency by 3, 2, and 5% respectively. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 32: 350‐354, 2013

“…SD is a clean and environmentally safe technology for fresh water production. The simplest and most practical solar still is of a single‐basin type, which consists of a box with a tilted or curved transparent glazing that serves also as a condensation surface, and trough(s) to collect the distillate 2…”

in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).A new mixed-integer linear programming model for location problem is developed in this work in order to find the optimal co-ordinates of the desalination plants. The model takes into account the given locations and capacities of the water incomes, the demands, and the costs of plants and pipelining. Feasible and infeasible plant regions are distinguished for locating the plants. The model has been developed in two consecutive phases. First, a basic model is developed that provides a solution within short time but does not take into account the possibility of pipeline branching. Application of this model gives rise to redundant pipelines to some connections, involving extra costs. Pipeline branching is dealt with an improved model developed in the second phase. This improved model provides realistic solution but with much longer computation time. The results of applying the different models on motivated examples of different sizes are detailed.
