Technological Innovation in the Area of Drinking Water for Treatment of Saline Water
The research paper reviews different types of desalination technologies for drinking water and the innovation in conventional drinking water purification systems for inland and sea water salinity. It also provides the updated status of salinity problem in India and attempts to document field experiences in tackling desalination problem for the benefit of the people with scientific approach.
