reverse osmosis power plant basicly run by electricity and its convert brakish water in to drinkable sweet water.Barefoot College,research that this RO plant also run by Solar energy..and now its running.this is first RO plant run by Solar energy in a small village of Rajasthan(near the Sambhar salt lake)

  • this is ridiculous. Why can't you just evaporate the water and collect it? You have so much sun energy and so much useless desert land.

    dig a hole, fill with water, cover with plastic sheets which will collect and drip onto collector trays. store in a pool.

    it will be clean drinking water. or at least 90% clean. cost of cleaning/desalinatin this water will be 20 times less than this techno centric approach

    Yeah, your South American inventor may be able to evaporate the water, but what do ya do about acid rain these days? Any of you dummy's even consider that the water not only has salt in it but pollution as well? One of you even made it to the top comments section, made specially for MORONS!

  • @YoLninYo Thats to easy!!

  • @silverzombie100 Hmmm ,whats a years worth of research and development? a years worth of labor? I'm sure NONE of the people in the salt labor force could even rub two sticks together dummy! I'm referring to the geniuses who reinvented the wheel by building this unit.Did you know in the 1800s an American engineer built a solar desalinize plant in South America that produced thousands of liters a day using nothing more than a series of wooden boxes painted black with glass on top?

  • @davetileguy

    Of course...they coud've used a desal unit from a yacht and off the shelf panel etc......but how many people do you think out of those salt labour force do you think are familiar with the desal unit out of yacht!!...Not too many eh!! The aim's to come up with really simple...really low cost....low maintenance and within the technical grasp of local (indeed after a training)!! So effort is put into...may be not the best technology but innovation of affordable technology.

  • How can a country so old have so little technology?? The first one in the country? 6 mo to design? 6mo to build? why could'nt they use off the shelf technology? buy some solar panels and a desal unit from a yacht? build large solar stills with gasp! a roll of plastic? explain!

  • Extremely human , good job .

  • @YoLninYo - how to evaporate large quantities like 1000 lt per hour- 5000 lt per day (the capacity of this unit)?

  • great film. Congrats to MNRE, CSMCRI and Bare foot college. But certain questions remain like whether it is a financially viable solution? can people's payment make it a viable proposition? d v deshpande

  • great work. keep it up!
