Jun 06, 2019 No, don't take us literally! Humans cannot drink saline water. But, saline water can be made into freshwater, which is the purpose of this portable, inflatable solar still (it even wraps up into a tiny package).The process is called desalination, and it is being used more and more around the world to provide people with needed freshwater.

Read MoreDesalination Overview Desalination describes a range of processes that remove salts and other minerals, as well as most biological and organic compounds, from saline water to produce high-quality water suitable for drinking. The earth’s natural water cycle – evaporation and rainfall, driven by solar energy – is an example of desalination ...
Read MoreAll desalination technologies utilize either thermal or electrical energy, or both, to separate water from salt. The environmental impacts of the energy use are dependent on the energy source. Currently, the sources are primarily fossil fuels. Table 8 summarizes the energy use of the well-established desalination technologies as well as some of the emerging ones.
