Lienhard E-mail: In many settings where freshwater resources or water supply infrastructure are inadequate, fossil energy costs may be high whereas SOLAR energy is abundant. Further, in the industri- alized world, government policies increasingly emphasize the replacement of fossil energy by renewable, low-carbon energy, and so water scarce regions are considering SOLAR -driven DESALINATION systems as a supplement to existing freshwater supplies.
