Desalination of sea water In India

Thirst for fresh water will come to an end by the introduction of desalination of sea water in India. This is the world’s first low temperature desalination plant built with the technology developed by National Institute of Ocean Technology Goa. The plant will produce 1 lakh water at a cost of 10 paisa per liter. The plant will be built across all the coastal area and also planned to increase the capacity by 10 lakh liters per day. The technology involves condensing the surface water which is at 27 to 30 degree Celsius to 5 to 7 degree Celsius by a vapor condensing chamber inside the tube. Water for the process will be drawn at a depth of about 350 to 400 m from the sea shore. This is fruitful news for those living in the metropolitan cities that are paying Re 1 per liter for drinking purpose.
