Solar Still: Water for the Future

Being an abundant natural resource that covers three quarters of the earth’s surface, water still a major issue, as less than 1% of fresh water is actually within human reach. Solar energy, most recommended renewable energy source is widely used in desalination fields. Solar distillation, particular...
