Indian researchers have developed a new siphon-based thermal desalination system that can now transform salty seawater into clean drinking water faster, cheaper and more reliably than existing methods.

This could help secure safe drinking water for millions in water-stressed regions. From small villages to island nations, the siphon-powered desalination system may finally make the ocean a dependable source of fresh drinking water, according to information shared by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Traditional solar stills, which mimic nature’s water cycle, have long been promoted as simple water purifiers. However, they face two persistent challenges - salt buildup where crusts form on evaporator surfaces, blocking water flow, and scaling limits as wicking materials can only lift
