DESALINIZATION OF BROKEN WATER BY CONVERSION OF SOLAR ENERGY INTO THERMAL: A POSSIBLE OUTPUT

Abstract

The main objective of this work is the study of the technical and economicviability of the desalination of brackish water using solar energy, taking as a case ofapplication a small rural community in the city of Itarema-CE. Passive solar distillationwas the desalination technology studied in this and can become a promising alternative toa regular supply of water.
