(Natural News) A new low-cost filter is set to address water purification for those living off the grid. The filter — which resembles a large sponge — soaks up water but leaves contaminants such as pathogens and chemicals behind. Placing the filter under the sun allows clean water to pass through, which can then be collected for […]

(Natural News) Having a well as a primary or additional source of water on a homestead is important whether you’re a prepper or not. This is because natural disasters may cut off water supplies for days or even weeks. Thus, having a well helps you to become self-sufficient when it comes to your water supply. […]

(Natural News) Researchers developed a solar-powered desalination device that vaporizes saltwater to produce potable water. The unit works thanks to a titanium-based material that captures solar energy and powers evaporation. Made of a special type of paper coated with a compound called titanium nitride oxide, the material heats rapidly and vaporizes water when exposed to the sun. The resulting water vapor is then […]

(Natural News) As it turns out, the addition of cheap, plastic lenses can effectively boost the efficiency of solar-powered water desalination systems. This is according to researchers from Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP), who found that by concentrating sunlight into “hotspots” using lenses, they could boost the efficiency of solar-powered membrane distillation desalination systems […]

(Natural News) Most water harvesting systems collect precipitation such as rain or water droplets from fog and other low-lying clouds. But a new device developed by Chinese researchers can get it directly from the atmosphere, provided there is sunlight. The new water collection system features nano-composite foam made from graphene. It relies on sunlight to power […]
