Most water filters available in the market are costly and need electricity to operate. Also, the reverse-osmosis (RO) filters waste a lot of water, making them unviable for areas with shortage of water.<\/p>\n<p>Now Indian scientists at the Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute in Maharashtra have developed a unique low-cost solar water purifier that can address all these concerns.<\/p>\n<p>This solar water purifier\u00a0is made up of four tubular solar water heaters attached to a manifold. The tubes have special coating to absorb maximum sunlight. They are like a thermos flask with vacuum between outer and inner tubes.<\/p>\n<p>Non-potable water is filled in the tubes after filtering with four-layered cotton cloth. The water gets heated in the stagnation mode by solar energy, making it potable.<\/p>\n<p>Since the cotton cloth can be washed daily, it ensures that filter is not clogged.<\/p>\n<p>Read full story here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebetterindia.com\/149526\/low-cost-solar-water-purifier-no-electricity-wastes-no-water-maharashtra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.thebetterindia.com\/149526\/low-cost-solar-water-purifier-no-electricity-wastes-no-water-maharashtra\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In India, remote villages still suffer from the unavailability of potable drinking water.
