Singh Sandeep

Abstract: Clean and affordable water is now regarded as a great commodity by the international community. A 2007 statement from the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights states that it is now time to consider access to safe drinking water and sanitation as a human right, defined as the right to equal and non-discriminatory access to a sufficient amount of safe drinking water for personal and domestic usesdrinking, personal sanitation, washing of clothes, food preparation and personal and household hygieneto sustain life and health. Safe drinking water is one of our fundamental needs, without which is not possible. Although Water purification units still exist in the military. But it cannot be carried or used everywhere and anytime (Remote area, Hilly area, Wartime, Muddy area etc). The ground was muddy and saturated with water, causing problems. At these places getting pure water is not possible all the time. This paper relates to the study and designing of single basin solar still for Soldiers in those remote area. These solar still is easy to construct. It can be transported anywhere easily and also it requires less maintenance.
