Scientists have developed a new solar-powered system to convert saltwater into fresh drinking water which they say could help reduce dangerous the risk of waterborne diseases like cholera.

Via tests in rural communities, they showed that the process is more than 20% cheaper than traditional methods and can be deployed in rural locations around the globe.

Building on existing processes that convert saline groundwater to freshwater, the researchers from King’s College London, in collaboration with MIT and the Helmholtz Institute for Renewable Energy Systems, created a new system that produced consistent levels of water using solar power, and reported it in a paper published recently in Nature Water.

It works through a process called electrodialysis which separates the salt using a set of specialized membranes that channel salt ions into a stream of brine, leaving the water fresh and drinkable. By flexibly adjusting the voltage and the rate at which salt water flowed through the system, the researchers developed a system that adjusts to variable sunshine while not compromising on the amount of fresh drinking water produced.

Using data first gathered in the village of Chelleru near Hyderabad in India, and then recreating these conditions of the village in New Mexico, the team successfully converted up to 10 cubic meters, or several bathtubs worth of fresh drinking water. This was enough for 3,000 people a day with the process continuing to run regardless of variable solar power caused by cloud coverage and rain.

[Note: Not sure what metric they're using to calculate daily water needs here. Presumably this is drinking water only.]

Dr. Wei He from the Department of Engineering at King’s College London believes the new technology could bring massive benefits to rural communities, not only increasing the supply of drinking water but also bringing health benefits.

“By offering a cheap, eco-friendly alternative that can be operated off the grid, our technology enables communities to tap into alternative water sources (such as deep aquifers or saline water) to address water scarcity and contamination in traditional water supplies,” said He.

“This technology can expand water sources available to communities beyond traditional ones and by providing water from uncontaminated saline sources, may help combat water scarcity or unexpected emergencies when conventional water supplies are disrupted, for example like the recent cholera outbreaks in Zambia.”

In the global rural population, 1.6 billion people face water scarcity, many of whom are reliant on stressed reserves of groundwater lying beneath the Earth’s surface.

However, worldwide 56% of groundwater is saline and unsuitable for consumption. This issue is particularly prevalent in India, where 60% of the land harbors undrinkable saline water. Consequently, there is a pressing need for efficient desalination methods to create fresh drinking water cheaply, and at scale.

Traditional desalination technology has relied either on costly batteries in off-grid systems or a grid system to supply the energy necessary to remove salt from the water. In developing countries’ rural areas, however, grid infrastructure can be unreliable and is largely reliant on fossil fuels...

“By removing the need for a grid system entirely and cutting reliance on battery tech by 92%, our system can provide reliable access to safe drinking water, entirely emission-free, onsite, and at a discount of roughly 22% to the people who need it compared to traditional methods,” He said.

The system also has the potential to be used outside of developing areas, particularly in agriculture where climate change is leading to unstable reserves of fresh water for irrigation.

The team plans to scale up the availability of the technology across India through collaboration with local partners. Beyond this, a team from MIT also plans to create a start-up to commercialize and fund the technology.

“While the US and UK have more stable, diversified grids than most countries, they still rely on fossil fuels. By removing fossil fuels from the equation for energy-hungry sectors like agriculture, we can help accelerate the transition to Net Zero,” He said.

Thirty years ago, a group of permaculture experts purchased 329 acres of degraded land in Western North Carolina with a vision: to restore the landscape while creating a new model of communal living.

What began as an experiment in living well off the land has grown into one of the nation’s oldest cohousing communities, where residents live collaboratively and in close connection with their environment.

The community now spans 13 distinct neighborhoods with over 100 residents, each offering a different approach to shared living. Some neighborhoods function as housing co-ops (North Carolina law requires at least five members for this designation), while others feature apartments, duplexes, or single-family homes.

Earthaven’s infrastructure reflects decades of experimentation and ingenuity. From hydroelectric power generated by mountain streams to solar systems energizing both communal and private spaces, the village is a model of thoughtful design.

Residents live in hand-built homes that range from timber-framed duplexes to snug cob cottages, sharing resources like kitchens, workshops, and gardens. Guided by principles of self-governance, consensus decision-making, and cooperative ownership, Earthaven fosters deep connections—not only with the natural world but also among its members, creating a way of life rooted in resilience and shared purpose.

Recently, Earthaven suffered significant damage from Hurricane Idalia, which tore through the region, leaving many homes and shared facilities in need of repair. The community is currently rebuilding and has launched a fundraising campaign to restore its infrastructure and continue its mission of regenerative living.

Conversation I Had Off the Record With a County Official

There was no names or locations exchanged, yes I know there are ways he could find out where I was and who I am but we will see.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Government bureaucratic mouthpieces: "To save the world from climate change, we need to go totally solar and wind."

Me: "Ok, I've been working on these plans, with my late father, to go off grid since the 1970's. I've been to these College and University courses (have the list of credited courses and certificates of completion). Here is a list I compiled of Federally (EPA, Dept, of Energy, Dept of Labor, ect...) recognized solar power panel and accessories for off grid living. And I have purchased everything I need, for just a little over $8,000. So I can set it up, just need a licensed electrician to set up the breaker box and have a county inspector approve the box."

GBM: "Sorry, that won't work. You have to pay for an engineer (roughly $10,000 to $12,000), approved by our office, to come out assess your location, draw up the plans, then submitted to our office for approval, but we wont approve a plan that doesn't also have you hooked up to the grid (roughly another $20,000 for where my place is at) because we have never approved a 100% off grid solar power system. Then you must get your solar supplies from a licensed supplier we approve of (who sell the same supplies I have for 5X the price)."

Me: "I can't afford that."

GBM: "Well you could always get a propane tank and a generator. But keep in mind that we have been trying to and want to ban propane and natural gas use in a few years to help save the environment."

Argggggggggggggg

Ok, rant over back to your regularly scheduled scrolling.

This weekend had the most perfect run of weather I've ever had at the cabin. This is good, because I was installing solar panels on the roof of my studio. Now, it's all wired up and producing its own power, and I think the studio is done for now.

I mean, I still have to figure out the piping for the wood stove, but it's a long time before winter hits, right?

I've finally started up a Tumblr account and need to build up my fyp brick by brick. The world is going into crisis mode, and what better way to deal with it than make a new social media account? The future is Hemp, environmentally friendly, land back, and free (probs more than that, that's just my focus in life). Hopefully, we'll get through this fam. Lemme know where to go if you see this. I'm still new to navigating Tumblr (I'm almost 30, I'll get it)
