A Study on fabrication of eco evaporator and producing drinkable water from the waste water of standing water bodies

Water scarcity remains a critical challenge globally, with millions of people lacking access to clean drinking water. This project explores the development of a simple, solar-powered water purification system designed to address water contamination issues in areas with limited access to electricity. The solar still uses the sun's energy to evaporate water, leaving impurities behind, and then condenses the vapor to produce clean, drinkable water. The study focuses on the effectiveness of this solar still in purifying water from Kanbargi Lake, which exhibited high levels of contamination including elevated pH, TDS, EC, turbidity, and BOD. The results showed significant improvements in water quality, with reduced turbidity, lower TDS and EC, and a notable decrease in BOD, making the water safer for consumption. This simple, sustainable technology has the potential to address water quality issues in remote and underserved regions. Furthermore, the future scope of the technology includes scaling up the system, integrating it with other purification methods, and incorporating renewable energy sources for enhanced efficiency. By empowering local communities to manage their water purification needs, this technology offers a promising, eco-friendly solution to the global water crisis.
