Abstract

Being an environmentalist, the water wastage, generate some free and better-quality water for personal house uses. Sources are rainwater from roof, backyard, from humid air and water reduction of drainage and then also inform cleaning water with solar distillation, solar oven, ultraviolet radiation, during many years. Results and analysis, like quality and quantity of water are also mentioned. It’s a review of my previous published work on water as well as some new recently measured data.

Keywords: Solar Energy; Rainwater; Water Pasteurization; Water Disinfection; Solar Still; Water from Humid Air
