        <description><![CDATA[Not new, but nevertheless works without power or high tech parts, being very low cost, reliable etc.  Clearly a case where less is more.This is a lesson for those who are trying to achieve the same thing with &quot;more&quot;, obviously with high-stupid-tech.I think, with such easy, simple, low-cost solutions to water problem (in large scale), there won't be any water crisis in a few decades as many predict, saying that water will be &quot;the most expensive liquid&quot;.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[is very welcome. the simpler to use the better it will work. That using sunlight to purify water is not new, does not matter. If it can be given out to needy areas, anywhere, the benefits are enormous.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Perhaps there really is &quot;nothing new under the sun&quot; as we reported on a similar invention in 2007, though this one simply used existing plastic bottles. You can read about it and see a short video at http://ec.europa.eu/research/infocentre/article_en.cfm?id=/research/star/index_en.cfm?p=15_main&amp;item=Success%20stories&amp;artid=3678]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I must be missing something here &quot;...making it well suited to people in hot, wet, tropical climates&quot;.   What ever happened to the concept of collecting good old, free, rain water.  Homes in Burmuda get 100% of their potable water by collecting rain water from their roofs.  It may not be high-teck but it is certainly cheap and effective.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This concept was found in life rafts all over the world in the 1980's when I first saw it. It was called solar water distilling and was used to make drinking water for those stranded on a life raft. I think a friend that sailed around the western Pacific used one on the boat for drinking water.]]></description>
