Research background
Freshwater resource crisis. Although of the earth’s surface is covered by water, 97% of which is undrinkable seawater. Only less than 3% is fresh water, of which 2% is stored in the polar glaciers. Of the only 1% freshwater, only a small part is used for drinking and other uses in life with 25% being industrial water and 70% being the agricultural water. However, it is just in such a world where water are badly needed that water is abused, wasted and polluted heavily. What’s worse, the regional distribution of water is uneven.
C-Water is a device which produces freshwater. It evaporates sewage, salt water and other watery objects by the use of heat generated from sunlight. It is applicable to wetlands, beaches, boats, sewage and other places. It has a flexible pull-type design. Not only can it be used as the deflector of steam, but also it is space-saving and convenient for transporting. What’s more, it is beneficial to travelers to use when they are out. The aim of C-WATER is to advocate the value of creating highly environmental protection with low costs.
Entry Makes Fresh Water
The raw materials come from the moisture hidden in nature, and also the processing energy comes from solar energy in nature. Consequently, it will free the resources on earth from consumption and pollution.
C-Water boasts water purification possibilities using a simple distillation technique. The power source - The sun. The slim, yet stackable object can float on any calm water surface. Fresh water gets collected in a separate reservoir and the whole thing is compact enough to go portable.
