**SolarFlow Water Solutions: Powering Clean Water Revolution Across Rural India**
A Made-in-India innovation is transforming sunlight into safe drinking water for rural and disaster-hit communities. The **SuryaGen Solar Water Purifier**, co-developed by **IISc Bengaluru** and **Suryagen Renewable Energy**, offers a sustainable solution to India’s water contamination challenges.
*How It Works.*
Using solar distillation, the device heats contaminated water with concentrated sunlight. Water evaporates, leaving behind bacteria, heavy metals like arsenic and lead, salts, and chemicals. The vapor condenses into pure, drinkable water—no electricity, chemicals, or filters needed.
*Impact and Accessibility.”
With over **600 million Indians** facing water stress, this technology addresses a critical need. The open-source design allows NGOs and communities to build units locally at reduced costs, bypassing infrastructure limitations in remote areas.
“Real-World Results.*
“We used to spend ₹50 weekly on water cans. Now we have this machine—no bills, no worries about germs,” says Lakshmi, a user in Raichur village.
The SuryaGen purifier represents more than innovation—it’s a pathway to making clean water a right, not a privilege, across India.
