Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in Boston, USA, have developed a portable desalination unit
Water scarcity is one of the world's biggest challenges. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in three people globally do not have easy access to clean water. Desalinating ocean water could help. But the currently-available devices are too energy-intensive and expensive to deploy on a large scale. Now, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have developed a portable desalination machine that is both affordable and sustainable.
The average human body is made up of between 55-60% water. It is literally the most essential substance for our very survival. While 70% of the world is co | Technology
MIT researchers developed a portable, electric or solar-powered desalination unit that removes particles and salts to generate clean drinking water anywhere.
