Stand at the edge of a reservoir, river, or ocean and it's hard to imagine that the planet could ever run out of water; even just a day at the beach makes your one small shower a day seem like less of a threat. But with

Here's a frequent question asked by people wanting to create positive sustainable changes in the world: Is it more effective to work as a change agent from inside the current system or is it better to

This simple, innovative solar still purifies water without electricity or filters.

These low-impact, solar-powered desalination units could be a potential boon to water-scarce coastal communities, disaster-prone areas, as well as local marine life.

Using solar stills to purify water isn't a new idea, but it's an effective one. And now new efforts are underway to use this old technology to help green the desert.

A new desalination technology company is looking to help clean up and recover some of the trillion gallons of salty wastewater from the oil and gas industry.

By combining solar PV, solar thermal, and a heat exchanger, Desolenator has developed a low-cost portable water purifier and desalination device powered by renewable energy.

This system could produce 3,500 gallons of clean water per day, at half the cost of current desalination methods, using just the motion of the waves to power the Reverse Osmosis process.
