Distillation
of Water |
|
|
|
Introduction:
Distillation is simply the most effective and reliable method
of producing pure drinking water. It has been an essential part
of nature since the earth began. The heat of the sun evaporates
water from the earth's surface into the atmosphere, leaving impurities
behind. As the vapor cools, it condenses and falls back to the
earth as rain, snow or other forms of precipitation. |

is the cost of water distillation? What are the hazards of using
distilled water as drinking water? Can you make a solar water
distiller? |
