Scientists have developed a new solar-powered system to convert saltwater into fresh drinking water which they say could help reduce dangerous the risk of waterborne diseases like cholera.
Via tests in rural communities, they showed that the process is more than 20% cheaper than traditional methods and can be deployed in rural locations around the globe.
Building on existing processes that convert saline groundwater to freshwater, the researchers from King’s College London, in collaboration with MIT and the Helmholtz Institute for Renewable Energy Systems, created a new system that produced consistent levels of water using solar power, and reported it in a paper published recently in Nature Water.
It works through a process called electrodialysis which separates the salt using a set of specialized membranes that channel salt ions into a stream of brine, leaving the water fresh and drinkable. By flexibly adjusting the voltage and the rate at which salt water flowed through the system, the researchers developed a system that adjusts to variable sunshine while not compromising on the amount of fresh drinking water produced.
Using data first gathered in the village of Chelleru near Hyderabad in India, and then recreating these conditions of the village in New Mexico, the team successfully converted up to 10 cubic meters, or several bathtubs worth of fresh drinking water. This was enough for 3,000 people a day with the process continuing to run regardless of variable solar power caused by cloud coverage and rain.
[Note: Not sure what metric they're using to calculate daily water needs here. Presumably this is drinking water only.]
Dr. Wei He from the Department of Engineering at King’s College London believes the new technology could bring massive benefits to rural communities, not only increasing the supply of drinking water but also bringing health benefits.
“By offering a cheap, eco-friendly alternative that can be operated off the grid, our technology enables communities to tap into alternative water sources (such as deep aquifers or saline water) to address water scarcity and contamination in traditional water supplies,” said He.
“This technology can expand water sources available to communities beyond traditional ones and by providing water from uncontaminated saline sources, may help combat water scarcity or unexpected emergencies when conventional water supplies are disrupted, for example like the recent cholera outbreaks in Zambia.”
In the global rural population, 1.6 billion people face water scarcity, many of whom are reliant on stressed reserves of groundwater lying beneath the Earth’s surface.
However, worldwide 56% of groundwater is saline and unsuitable for consumption. This issue is particularly prevalent in India, where 60% of the land harbors undrinkable saline water. Consequently, there is a pressing need for efficient desalination methods to create fresh drinking water cheaply, and at scale.
Traditional desalination technology has relied either on costly batteries in off-grid systems or a grid system to supply the energy necessary to remove salt from the water. In developing countries’ rural areas, however, grid infrastructure can be unreliable and is largely reliant on fossil fuels...
“By removing the need for a grid system entirely and cutting reliance on battery tech by 92%, our system can provide reliable access to safe drinking water, entirely emission-free, onsite, and at a discount of roughly 22% to the people who need it compared to traditional methods,” He said.
The system also has the potential to be used outside of developing areas, particularly in agriculture where climate change is leading to unstable reserves of fresh water for irrigation.
The team plans to scale up the availability of the technology across India through collaboration with local partners. Beyond this, a team from MIT also plans to create a start-up to commercialize and fund the technology.
“While the US and UK have more stable, diversified grids than most countries, they still rely on fossil fuels. By removing fossil fuels from the equation for energy-hungry sectors like agriculture, we can help accelerate the transition to Net Zero,” He said.

Correction:
At 3:24 minutes, the subtitle erroneously read as '...polling service station'. The corrected fact is that wind solar hybrid projects can be categorised into 'cooling service stations' where wind and solar power is connected and the power is stepped up from '33kv to 66kv (kilovolt)'.
We regret the inaccuracy and stand corrected.
Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow.
Wind-solar hybrid systems offer many advantages over their standalone counterparts. Gujarat in particular is investing in the technology. Could it help India cut fossil fuels? We check out the pros and cons of this emerging technology.

Solar Energy and the Union Budget 2023 - An Overview:
Tumblr media
India is growing, and with development comes the requirement of making the country more dependent on solar energy. India is driving exponential growth in the sector, but we still need to reach the 2030 target.
The current scenario and Union Budget:
Solar Energy holds a considerable share of approximately 36% of India's installed renewable energy capacity. On the other hand, Hydropower plants and wind energy have 31 and 25 per cent of shares, respectively.
The government is trying to help the sector with different policies and reductions in the prices of raw materials, which have led to a tremendous increase in the overall capacity the previous year, but a lot more is needed to meet the required needs.
Here are some of the highlights of this year's budget that will impact the solar sector in India:
The Union Finance Minister of India allocated Rs 10,222 crore for the renewable energy sector. A vast amount of this allocation will be given to solar energy and solar panel set-ups.
On average, this is an increase of 48 percent from last year's allocation.
A focus is made on "green growth", which will include boosting the usage of green fuel, farming, and even green energy.
Solar energy will play a significant role in "green growth", reducing carbon emission intensity and dependency on fossil fuels for energy.
Green Energy is the main focus:
Green energy remains the government’s focus, and India is looking towards solar energy to meet its goals. Moreover, with more and more battery and pump storage, renewable energy sources will be boosted.
Green Energy is one of the 7 top priorities in the 2023 budget. Making India free from harmful carbon emissions and creating green jobs is a part of the budget. In addition, an amount of Rs. 35,000 Cr. Is earmarked as a capital investment for the energy transition, which can be a game changer. The final goal here is to boost the Net Zero journey, which focuses on zero dependence on non-renewable sources of energy.
With the help of Green energy, dependence on carbon and other forms of non-renewable sources of energy will become lesser and lesser. It will be very beneficial in saving the environment and fossil fuels; on the other hand, it will significantly relax the Indian economy.
Massive investment for a sustainable future:
The considerable investment made by the government in this year's budget is not only going to give a significant boost to the Indian economy, but on the other hand, it is also going to create numerous opportunities. It will help provide more dependence on domestic and indigenous products regarding energy production and, on the other hand, will create new job opportunities for people in the field. Union Budget 2023 aims to make India among the established leaders in the global green energy transition.
The government has highlighted not only the production of renewable energy, such as solar energy, but also has focused on processing and storing this energy. Therefore, with such remarkable findings, one can get easy and affordable solutions that enable renewable energy processing and make India more dependent on it.
The union budget also focuses on improving the infrastructure for the renewal of energy production and processing.
India is a growing country, and with its growing need, energy consumption has also increased drastically. Switching the dependence on energy from non-renewable to renewable, sustainable sources is necessary, and it is a need of time. The government has allocated a substantial sum towards green growth and has identified it as one of the seven crucial pillars of the budget. This allocation presents a favorable trajectory for the country's sustainability efforts and the power sector in India.
