The Use of Solar Stills in Agriculture: Sustainable Irrigation and Food Production

Water, energy, and food are unquestionably necessary for the life of all living creatures. These resources are frequently linked together, and their intimate connections have a big impact on how we conduct our daily lives. However, millions of people around the world are suffering from water shortage, which has become a real threat. Whereas water, unlike other raw materials, has no possible alternative. It is an essential factor in the germination of plant foods, energy production and the sustainability of human life. Solar distillation combines water supply and energy conservation, and if this water is used for irrigation it will also ensure food supply. This study proposes an automated solar distillation system for agriculture using solenoid and sensors to monitor the system remotely.
