This is a seemingly bold statement, but it is unfortunately true. Only 1% of Earths water is in a fresh, liquid state, and nearly all of this is polluted by both diseases and toxic chemicals. For this reason, purification of water supplies is extremely important. Keeping these things in mind, we have devised a model which will convert the dirty/saline water into pure/potable water using the renewable source of energy (i.e. solar energy). The basic modes of the heat transfer involved are radiation, convection and conduction. The results are obtained by evaporation of the dirty/saline water and fetching it out as pure/drinkable water. The designed model produces 1.5 litres of pure water from 14 litres of dirty water during six hours. The efficiency of plant is 64.37%. The TDS(Total Dissolved Solids) in the pure water is 81ppm. Keywords: renewable energy, pure water, TDS. 1. Introduction Water is the basic necessity for human along with food and air. There is almost no water left on Ear
