Solar distillation

Solar distillation is a natural process that uses sunlight to purify water. It involves heating salty or contaminated water with solar energy, causing it to evaporate. The vapor then rises and condenses on a cool surface, turning back into clean water. This method mimics how nature purifies water through the water cycle. Solar distillation is an eco-friendly way to produce drinking water, especially in areas lacking access to freshwater. It effectively removes salts, bacteria, and other impurities, making water safe to drink while relying solely on renewable solar energy.
