Kim PeralesWhen #tech is used for good: a possible breakthrough: “Desalination system could produce freshwater cheaper than tap water. For the first time, it is possible for water, produced by sunlight, to be even cheaper than tap water,” says Lenan Zhang, a research scientist in MIT’s Device Research Laboratory. #WaterSolutions #WaterTechnology #DesalinationSolutions https://news.mit.edu/2023/desalination-system-could-produce-freshwater-cheaper-0927
Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water
A new solar desalination system takes in saltwater and heats it with natural sunlight. The system flushes out accumulated salt, so replacement parts aren’t needed often, meaning the system could potentially produce drinking water that is cheaper than tap water.
