G'Day,

Trying to think who else would face this sort of problem and guess it would
have to be the military. Does anyone know if they have access to energy
efficient, portable, desalination.

I'm very interested in fitting solar powered (electrical or thermal)
desalination to a kayak  - fresh water being the single most volume
consuming item I can think of for a long trip through arid coastline.

All the best, PeterO
