Abstrakt: Lack of clean drinking water in rural areas is a huge problem during the occurrences of floods and other environmental disasters. Often, it takes a long time to transport potable water to these areas resulting in health issues to the local residents. In this research, a solar power based water purification system using a cartridge heater to produce clean drinking water in flood affected areas or remote areas where potable water is difficult to obtain is proposed. This water purification system uses a distillation technique, with an automatic valve which fills up a tank and heats up the water. The steam is captured and flowed into a clean water holding tank. This project could provide a good solution for providing clean drinking water to areas affected by floods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
