India is using Low Temperature Thermal Desalination Technology to convert ocean Water into drinking water. This is world’s first low temperature thermal desalination plant started in 2005 which uses ocean’s temperature gradient to produce fresh water.

Recently Science published the success story of Kavaratti plant developed by National Institute of Ocean Technology, India.

The government is planning to set up more desalination plants with a capacity of 10 million litres/per day on all islands and coastal areas as an alternative source of fresh water.
