Description
Adequate quality and reliability of drinking water is vital for all inhabitants and for agriculture and industrial
applications. Solar desalination is impactful method for getting potable water from brackish/wastewater in hot climatic
condition and/or remote area where the scarcity of water as well as for electricity. In recent years, attention has been focused
on development of various designs of solar still in order to overcome limitations possesses by conventional single basin single
slope solar still. Pyramid solar still is one of the outcomes of such a development. This project reviews the development in the
field of pyramid solar still as well as the various techniques to improve the performance of still. From the review on research
carried out by the various researchers, it has been found that pyramid solar still is more efficient and economical in compare to
conventional single slope single basin still.
