There is always a scarcity of clean and pure drinking water in many developing countries. Water from various sources is often brackish (i.e. contain dissolved salts) and/or contains harmful bacteria and therefore, cannot be used for drinking purpose The supply of drinking water is a growing problem for most parts of the world. More than 80 countries, which between then have 40 % of the world population are being suffered from this problem. In order to solve this problem, new drinking water sources should be discovered and new water desalination techniques be developed. In many countries, fossil fuel burning water desalination systems are currently used. This experiment was performed at National Centre for Energy Research and Development, University of Nigeria Nsukka. The experiment recorded a maximum distillate of 1.1litres yield on day 4 between the hours of 2-4pm. The solar radiation affected the result of the experiment and maximum atmospheric temperature recorded was 31 °C.The boiling point of the distillate water tested is 100 °C and the melting point of the water is 0 °C which correspond to World Health Organization (WHO) standard. The average solar Insolation at the centre is 450W/m².
