The lack of potable water poses a big problem in southern and south-western arid regions of Pakistan. The underground water, where exists, is usually brackish and cannot be used as it is for drinking purposes. Pakistan lies in high solar insolation band and the vast solar potential can be exploited
A simple, efficient mobile small-scale solar pond was designed and operated for several months to measure its thermal performance. The pond is a covered shallow saltless one, used with a boosting plane reflector for water heating. The pond was tested under several conditions including with and witho
