Thanks very much Neil. Yes we are an atoll island of more than 3000 -5000 people. Probably a small or medium distillation system will do where we do not need high maintance and easy to operate and maintain. I also like the idea of farming as well since dry season in this atoll makes it hard for locals to engage in local crops. Please suggest what is best for us.

Dear sir/madam, My name is Mcleen Pikacha and I'm from a small Polynesian island called Bellona in the Solomon Islands, South Pacific. My people are currently suffering from a long drought caused by El Nino for more than some 5 months now. My island do not have water ponds, rivers, streams or wells. My people rely heavily on rain water collected in their tanks and from coconut trees. We are desperately looking for immediate help and have managed to send some tonnes of mineral waters to the island to keep them for the next few weeks or so. Though we are dealing with the immediate needs I'm looking for help to help my island people in the long term. What came into my mine as a solution is a distillation system to make use of the abundant sea water around our Island. I searched through the internet for possible help and I came across your organisation. Please if you can able to help my people let me know. We are desperate and suffering as a result of what I believe is the beginning of global warming. Please, we need help and I believe to hear from your organisation. Kind regards, Mr. Mcleen

Does anybody have any comparisons (economic and technical) for distillation facilities on small islands? What would be the best option for 3000 to 5000 people?

The original question comes from Pikacha McLean from Bellona in the Solomon Islands

Any suggestions welcome.
