Researchers have created an ingeniously designed recycled water still that can purify water for under $0.01 per liter.
Imagine a device that not only purifies water but also recycles waste, all at an affordable price. Researchers at Dalhousie University in Canada have made this a reality, creating a water purifier that costs just a few cents per liter and is crafted from discarded tires. This recycled water still tackles two major environmental challenges: water scarcity and waste management.
Access to safe drinking water is a global challenge. Polluted rivers and salty oceans render most of Earth’s water undrinkable. This new purifier addresses this issue by using a solar distillation process. The still is set up on a body of water, where it floats and absorbs the water from below.
