The project will conduct R & D as well as verification of an efficient solution to water shortages in crisis areas. It is estimated that the unit can produce 3-4 times the daily requirement of drinking water per day and the purpose of this project is to demonstrate that the design is reliable and can meet its goals. In addition to the fact that the desalinator itself will meet demands for sustainability, affordability, durability and reliability, it will also layout an approach that integrates environmental and social impact.
