Solar Stills for Sustainable Water Purification: Innovations, Policies, and Applications explores recent developments in solar distillation technology, highlighting the use of solar energy in the efficient production of clean water, combining renewable energy and water purifying methods to address water scarcity and related challenges in a sustainable way. The book begins by introducing the basic principles and connections between solar stills, solar energy, and water purification. Subsequent chapters offer in-depth coverage and analysis of design, mechanics, and maintenance, strategies for enhanced productivity, heat storage, thermal modeling and analysis, economic viability, machine learning for optimization, environmental impact, policy, legal, and regulatory aspects, social and community impact, and innovative applications and materials. Finally, emerging technologies, potential future enhancements, and research gaps are discussed. Within several chapters, case studies are used to practically illustrate applications and impacts of solar still technology, providing real-world context for the theoretical and technical content. This is a useful resource for all those with an interest in solar still technology, solar energy applications, water resource management, green technology, and environmental engineering, including researchers, advanced students, faculty, engineers, R&D, industry practitioners, and policy makers.Provides comprehensive information on the design, building, and functioning of solar stillsConnects advances in renewable energy with practical approaches to water purificationIntegrates theoretical modelling and the most recent advances in machine learning to improve efficiencyDiscusses key aspects such as energy/exergy analysis, economic viability, and policy developments
