How can solar energy be used to purify water?

What will be an ideal response


Water is poured into plastic jugs and the jugs are placed on black-covered roofs and allowed to heat for several hours. If the heat from the solar radiation raises the temperature of the water to more than 50ËšC (122ËšF), the water becomes safe to drink and common waterborne bacteria such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery are destroyed.
