A new system could make brackish groundwater drinkable at low cost in communities where seawater and grid power are limited. Brackish groundwater is a major potential source of drinking water in ...

Engineers built a solar-powered desalination system that produces large quantities of clean water despite variations in sunlight throughout the day. Because it requires no extra batteries, it offers a ...

Fresh water we can use for drinking or agriculture is only about 3 percent of the global water supply, and nearly 70 percent of that is trapped in glaciers and ice caps. So far, that was enough to ...

Scientists at Tianjin's Nankai University have innovated a solar-powered desalination system The system harnesses smart DNA hydrogels for freshwater production. In tests conducted in the Bohai Sea, ...

Scientists led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed a new PV-powered desalination system based on the time-variant electrodialysis reversal (EDR) technology. The proposed ...

A research team co-led by a UC Irvine chemistry professor has built a new kind of electrochemical device that strips salt ...

Drought and climate change are impacting water supplies around the world. But desalination — pulling fresh, drinkable water from saltwater— can offer some relief. Desalination technology has existed ...

The Agua+S project under development in the Spanish region of Andalucia is aimed at combining a desalination plant, a pumping station network, and an onshore, floating photovoltaic plant in a single ...

Jon Bessette sits atop a trailer housing the electrodialysis desalination system at the Brackish Groundwater National Research Facility (BGNDRF) in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The system is connected to ...
