Short description:
This proposal aims at investigating optimum concept for fresh water supply in rural areas derive from salty water (sea water and brackish water). Units powered by autonomous, renewable energy supply systems with fresh water output in the range of 100 l/day to 10 m3/day are in the focus of this project. It is not intended to develop new desalination technologies but to adapt existing concepts from various suppliers for the use with renewable energies. The focus of this project is to evaluate the potential and the optimum solution for the areas and countries involved taking into account the technical, economical, environmental, organisational and the socio-technical and the socio-economic aspects. This integrated, multidisciplinary and border crossing problem solving approach will contribute to the improvement of the sustainability of water management projects.

Themes covered:
V. Use of non-conventional water resources
