THE EXPLOITATION OF SOLAR ASSISTED DESALINATION IN CURRENT ENERGY SCENARIO

Clean and pure water is not accessible in many parts of the world, and shortage continues to rise with each day. While large quantities of water are available on earth, 97.5 percent of this total volume of water is seawater that is not readily accessible due to its salinity. Earlier, humans believed that only the taste of water was a symbol of its quality. The Greeks and the Romans are very well known for having complex water sources. Such earlier water treatment experts have used a number of approaches to monitor taste and odour issues in their water supply. The desalination method is used to eliminate natural ion toxins and to turn some of the saltwater into drinking water. The desalination method was used by seamen in 320 BC by boiling water and gathering steam to turn it into sweet drinking water. This article discusses the characteristics of various desalination plants, including, obtainable from solar-powered desalination systems. Usually, the desalination process is carried out with a traditional energy supply system that is expensive and polluting. Reducing the cost of water solar energy can be a positive option since it is cost-free and safe. The maximum efficient solar-powered desalination system can indeed be combined with yet another renewable energy source. The key problem for the desalination process is the handling of highly saline wastewater, which can have an effect on marine life and cause land contamination. It can be overcome while using solar ponds or stills. Desalination is an attractive way to turn saltwater into freshwater. Many countries use desalination as just a remedy to the lack of drinkable water. For example, Saudi Arabia achieves its 60 percent of the total availability of water through desalination
