Abstract

Deficiency of potable water has always been a problem given the population growth on the Earth. Solar distillation is the simplest environmentally friendly and economically viable technique for potable-water production; and this technique has been in continuous use during the past few centuries. In this chapter, various passive solar-distillation systems are discussed in detail.
