Desalination of reverse osmosis effluent using integrated solar pond with solar still system

A hybrid system of mini solar pond combined with single-slope still was used to increase the production of the distilled water from R.O rejections and to harness the generated thermal energy from this mini solar pond. This study is focused on the solar distillation coupled with solar pond technique...
