Creation Assistance has this post up on an invention to turn salty sea water into drinking water. Absolute genius. I wonder if this can be applied to our dirty drinking water through public utilities? Could it take out the prescription drugs, petroleum products, fertilizers, herbicides, etc.?
Here’s the article in translation:

OF SEA WATER BECOMES DRINKING WITH THIS INVENTION OPEN SOURCE THAT WILL SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVES .
Lack of access to clean water is one of the leading causes of mortality in poor countries .
In recent years , several efforts have been made to make seawater drinkable . This required power plants that consume a lot of energy and was inaccessible to poor countries.
Italian designer Gabriele Diamanti , had the idea to rally two natural elements in the service of the environment.
He created the ” Eliodomestico ” an eco- distiller that turns salt water into drinking water using solar energy.
This project is aimed at developing countries and allow these people access to clean drinking water at lower costs, with the added technical “Open Source” .
How does the ” Eliodomestico “?eliodomestico
Eliodomestico each device can produce five liters of drinking water per day. More than enough for a family of 4 people .
The concept is simple, just put the sea water (salt water) in the morning in a special boiler.
This boiler is waterproof and thanks to the sun ( heat ) water evaporates throughout the day.
The steam passes through a connecting pipe and condenses in the cover pan.
The user can retrieve the fresh drinking water contained in the tank after sunset.
A more satisfactory idea for transporting drinking water, just wear the pelvis on the head ( a common practice).

I would caution, however, that since this is made of clay, that water not be allowed to stand in it. Clay is notorious for having lead in it.
