In an effort to tackle extreme water scarcity in the Thar region, the Rajasthan government has launched solar desalination plants in remote desert villages near Jaisalmer. These modular units use reverse osmosis powered entirely by solar energy to convert brackish groundwater into drinking water. Each plant serves 500–700 residents daily. Community women have been trained to operate the units and monitor quality using digital TDS meters. Residents previously reliant on water tankers now access clean water locally, reducing costs and drudgery. Water user committees manage distribution and minor maintenance. With successful implementation, 50 more such plants are planned. This decentralized water access model showcases how technology can empower remote, climate-vulnerable communities.
