    Abstract: The objective of this study is to introduce solar energy as an electric and water source to distant communities in desert areas. Fossil fuel dominates world as the major source of energy that can be easily transformed into electricity and used for water reclamation in many societies. However, ambiguities and questions for supplying necessary fuels,... Show More
