</b> <br />
This proposal aims at investigating the concept of fresh water supply in
rural areas, using salt water (sea water and brackish water). The project
focuses on units powered by autonomous, renewable energy supply systems with
fresh water output in the range of 100 l/day to 10 m3/day. The aim is not to
develop new desalination technologies, but to adapt existing concepts from
various suppliers for use with renewable energies. The project evaluates the
potential and the optimum solution for areas and countries involved, taking
into account the technical, economic, environmental, organisational,
socio-technical and socio-economic aspects. This integrated,
multidisciplinary and trans-border approach to problem-solving will
contribute to the improvement of the sustainability of water management
projects.<br />
