Dear Mr Mclean,

There are a number of options in what can be done regarding water distillation and the most appropriate one will depend on the scale of operation.

A general overview can be seen in the attached document. For example it describes solar stills that can produce clean water and also a variant on this concept called the Seawater Greenhouse which additionally has an area where crops can be grown in a cooler more humid area under cover while still being able to collect clean condensed water for drinking.

And you are very welcome to come back to me with further questions on any aspect of distillation that you are interested in and we can try to provide further information.

Yours sincerely, Neil
