Abstract:

“Water usage across fast developing sub continental economies is growing at unprecedented rate which is more than twice the rate of the population growth for the past century. Although there is not yet a global water shortage, about 2.8 billion people, representing more than 40% of the world’s population, live with some form of water scarcity off which almost 1.2 billion live under conditions of physical water scarcity, which occurs when more than 75% of the river flows are withdrawn in countries like India and China. Remaining 1.6 billion people live in areas of economic water scarcity, where human, institutional, and financial capital limits access to water, even though water is available locally to meet human demands. The project is an attempt to provide drinking water to the people where there is shortage of pure and fresh drinking water so that we can overcome the problem mentioned above. The idea is to make use of the moisture present in air to produce water, because there is always certain percentage of humidity present in air even if we are in desert. Hence this would be a reliable technology. The method is to cool the air available in atmosphere which will convert the water from gaseous state i.e. from moisture into liquid. The system will work on solar energy by using solar cell hence it can be also use effectively in place where there is lack of electricity. The air to be cooled will be filtered first so we could deliver harmless water which makes our idea non-toxic and dependable. There is no need of long transmission lines since sunlight is present in almost all part of our country. Hence we can implement it at any place and this will also save the cost of transmission pipelines that we normally use for transmission of water. Hence the project aims to develop a technique of water production that can be practice by any one and at any place affordably and efficiently.
