People everywhere are trying to create more cutting-edge technology to help make it so that clean water is more accessible throughout the world. Here are a few things that people are creating to expand our access to clean drinking water. 

We’ve been using solar distillers for our water since pre-Columbian times. It’s actually pretty simple to use. Water is evaporated through the use of solar energy, and then the vapor is condensed on a surface, collecting clean water. Now, there are more advancements tot he technology that improves its performance. For example, the company Sunny Clean Water uses a system of carbon paper evaporators and condensers that are made from polydimethylsiloxane. These condensers in full sunlight emit more energy than they absorb, which reduces the temperature to below the dew point and makes vapor condensation possible.
