Abstract

Potable water or drinking water is essential for all living organisms to survive on the Earth. Today, with the rapid growth in population and a decrement in limited water resources, the lack of potable water is the most frightening problem facing humankind. The Sun is the brightest and most ample energy resource available in the universe. Solar energy, or sunlight, acts as a driving force to accelerate life on Earth. For proper utilization of solar energy, it is essential to understand the basic science of solar energy. The main focus of the first chapter is to highlight some essential features of potable or drinking water such as the importance of water, water crisis, water pollution, and various simple and advanced techniques for water purification. Among all, we concentrate on explaining the basic theory and concept of solar-distillation systems for water purification.
