Abstract

Water scarcity is nothing but the insufficient of fresh paper resources to meet the daily life of human activity. However the water scarcity is cause by growing population and change in weather pattern due to global warming. Many countries across the world will face the water scarcity in this century. As per the NITI Aayoga report release in June 2019. India has 4% of world fresh water and also has the 17% of world population. This research conclude that India will faces the worst ever water scarcity in history. In India, more than 90% of fresh water available in the ground is used for agriculture purpose and remaining is used as a drinking water. The most important crops grown in1 India are rice, wheat and sugarcane. These crops also consume more amount of water. For example, rice is the major crops exported in India which consume about 3500 liters of water for producing a kilogram of grains. So the aim of this paper is used to convert the saline water to drinking water by sending the saline water into the boiler which has inlayer of stainless steel to avoid the scale formation in the boiler surface and heated to the temperature of about 700c to produce the super-heated steam of fresh water and this steam is passed to the steam turbine to produce the electric power.
