Hello Menerswife-ga,

The search strategy: agricultural desalination ?solar evaporation?
brought back about 75 results. By reviewing each of them, the
following proved to be the closest to your criteria. I grouped them in
two categories: those in section ?A? are articles that you can access
for free in the internet; the ones in section ?B? are links to sites
where an article can be purchased for a fee. I hope to have met your
expectations. Please ask me for clarification if you need so.
Sincerely,

Guillermo-ga

Solar desalination is essentially limited to the energy per sq meter
reaching the earth. In general the following can be used for
calculation;
If Temperature is around 30 C (90F) one can collect per day 27.000 J
energy per sq meter ,enough for 11 Litres of fresh water.
We increased this quantity substantially by using a cubic, surface
increasers, surface tention breakers and splitting evaporation and
condensation in seperated area's. State of the art electronics/sensors
will bring you up to 40 L (9 gallon) max. See for drawings and
additional details http://www.zonnewater.net
