Used tire-based solar desalination tech makes 3.67 liters of drinking water daily | The device generated 3.67 liters of fresh water each day during the test in Halifax Harbour.
Dalhousie University reseachers have developed a low-cost, solar-powered water desalination device for remote and underserved communities.
