2. Solar still - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_still

   A pit still may be too inefficient as a survival still, because of the energy/water required for construction. [9] In desert environments water needs can exceed 3.8 litres (1 US gal) per day for a person at rest, while still production may average only 240 millilitres (8 US fl oz).

3. Solar desalination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_desalination

   Solar stills of this type are described in survival guides, provided in marine survival kits, and employed in many small desalination and distillation plants. Water production is proportional to the area of the solar surface and solar incidence angle and has an average estimated value of 3–4 litres per square metre (0.074–0.098 US gal/sq ft ...

4. Slingshot (water vapor distillation system) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slingshot_(water_vapor...

   Slingshot is a water purification device created by inventor Dean Kamen. [1] Powered by a Stirling engine running on a combustible fuel source, it claims to be able to produce drinking water from almost any source [2] by means of vapor compression distillation, [3] requires no filters, and can operate using cow dung as fuel.

5. Atmospheric water generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator

   State-of-the-art AWG for home use. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1] or pressurizing the air.

6. Vapor-compression evaporation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_evaporation

   A vapor-compression evaporator, like most evaporators, can make reasonably clean water from any water source. In a salt crystallizer, for example, a typical analysis of the resulting condensate shows a typical content of residual salt not higher than 50 ppm or, in terms of electrical conductance , not higher than 10 μS/cm .

   PARIS/MORONI (Reuters) -Emergency workers sought survivors on Monday and struggled to restore services in Mayotte, France's poorest overseas territory, where hundreds or even thousands are feared ...

8. Distilled water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water

   Bottle for distilled water in the Real Farmacia in Madrid. Distilled water is water that has been boiled into vapor and condensed back into liquid in a separate container. Impurities in the original water that do not boil below or near the boiling point of water remain in the original container. Thus, distilled water is a type of purified water.

9. Portable water purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_water_purification

   They are also called point-of-use water treatment systems and field water disinfection techniques. Techniques include heat (including boiling), filtration, activated charcoal adsorption, chemical disinfection (e.g. chlorination , iodine, ozonation , etc.), ultraviolet purification (including sodis ), distillation (including solar distillation ...
