IIT Gandhinagar develops cost-effective, eco-friendly water desalination technique to make seawater drinkable

The Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) researchers team have developed a cost-effective and environment-friendly water desalination technique that can successfully remove more than 99% of salt ions and other impurities with natural processing to make seawater potable. The research has been motivated and guided by trees’ natural intake of water using capillary effect. Selective…
