Failures

I would like this page to include the failures already documented in the field of solar desalination. Not as a means of discouraging further research, but as a means of ensuring that a fresh look at this area does not cover old ground. --203.63.128.25

Please do. Be bold. --Sinus 15:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Natural systems

Amending the Earth's Accessible Fresh Water supply -

Virtually the entire supply of fresh water on Earth stems from natural solar desalinization -- Is there perhaps not a hint buried somewhere in this fact ?

A large proportion of annual rainfall on Earth goes to waste by falling into the oceans -- Is there perhaps not a hint buried somewhere in this fact ?

Ocean transport on Earth is very cheap -- Is there perhaps not a hint buried somewhere in this fact ?

German page

Would be really great if someone could have a look at the German page http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solare_Meerwasserentsalzungsanlage and translate this to english. Loads of useful information there!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.74.245.154 (talk) 05:43, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK will try. Might take a while.Alexfiedler (talk) 07:08, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing done as of 2023. The German page appears more structured with more scientific info in it. The English language page has a lot of info too but is less structured. However to merge both pages would take a lot of work. One point which would be useful in the English language page, maybe in tabular form, is the amount of water produced per m2 of solar capture. E.g. although direct thermal solar distillation may be less energy efficient than e.g. reverse osmosis, solar PV is typically only captures about 1/5 of the available solar energy, so there would be less energy available to perform reverse osmosis. Also the implementation cost of different systems would be useful too.Lkingscott (talk) 11:59, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio

The range in the template given below applies too all instances of copyvio. I had simply ran out of space to fit in all the copyrighted works (and there are still 2 or 3 more that I didn't fill in!) Dark-World25 (talk) 12:52, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
