Scientists from Vietnam’s Academy for Water Resources have succeeded in designing equipment that turns saltwater into freshwater, using the sun’s energy.

The new equipment, which was successfully tested in Cam Ranh Bay in the central coastal province of Khanh Hoa and Do Son district in the northern port city of Haiphong, can produce more than 6 litres of fresh water per square meter each day, using solar energy. 

The appliance comes in various sizes and can be installed almost anywhere.
