Solar-driven water desalination system for Maasai village, Tanzania – Tanzania Together with nine other European project partners, Phaesun is developing innovative desalination systems based on electrodialysis technology as part of the EU development and innovation project REvivED Water. In February 2020, a pilot plant was installed at a saline well in the Tanzanian Maasai village of Ndedo and supplies the population with 2000 litres of drinking water per day. The plants are complete systems in which the water is cleaned of dirt particles, bacteria and viruses in a preliminary stage and treated […] Solar-driven water desalination system for Maasai village, Tanzania – TanzaniaDME GmbH2020-03-26T16:01:26+01:00
GWCL Asks Teshie Desalination Plant To Operate At Full Capacity – Ghana The Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) has asked the operators of the Teshie Desalination plant to, as a matter of urgency, operate at full capacity to help improve the water supply situation in the country. The plant, which was shut down for about a year over some technical and operational challenges, resumed operation on March 18, this year. Currently, it produces an average of 40,000 cubic metres of water daily instead of the overall capacity of 60,000 cubic metres a day.

Kenya Installs the First Solar Plant That Transforms Ocean Water Into Drinking Water – Kenya Water should not be luxury product, but still in these modern times, one out of nine people doesn’t have access to clean drinking water. This main issue here is that only around 4% of earth’s water sources are rivers, lakes and drinkable water, the rest is comprised of oceans with salty water. These are all alarming statistics, but luckily in many such places around the world things are starting to improve thanks to new technologies. (LINK).
