Mr. Pahah you are correct to cite the terrible present and future prospect for water in Africa and elsewhere. You are also correct that solar powered desalination is the ideal solution. But with limited technical skills and a very widely distributed water demand caution is advised in placing hundreds pieces of high tech, complex maintenance equipment many kilometers from expert repair and operations support. The case you make for solar desalination is the exact fit for our direct solar thermal desalination. We have raised the GOR from 0.25 to 5.0 for solar desalination and offer a zero brine waste option. We can even convert that waste RO brine which is raising sea salt level, recover over 90% as distilled water and the only other product is dry salt. See www.suns-river.com for more information. Our equipment has no internal moving or electric/eletronic parts, an estimated 20 - 25 year life and our most complex component is a low pressure water pump. Simple as a deep well to operate and can operate with 100% solar power. Individual home units can be easily human powered. Hill Kemp, KII/Suns River
