-There are four main types of solar water treatment: '''solar water disinfection (SODIS)''', solar distillation, solar water pasteurization, and solar water treatment systems. Some of these technologies have been around for a very long time, but most are new adaptations to the concept of solar energy. These technologies are quite simple and easy to understand, usually require low financial input, and are proven effective.

-*'''Solar Water Distillation'''<br/><br/>Solar water distillation uses a solar still to condense pure water vaour and settle out harmful substances to make clean, pure drinking water. This process is used when the water is brackish containing harmful bacteria, or for settling out heavy metals and also for desalination of sea water.

-*'''Solar Water Pasteurization'''<br/><br/>Solar water pasteurization involves the use of moderate heat or radiation to kill disease - causing microbes. This heat is provided from cookers that trap solar energy.

 *Lack of any Social Program
-Without any social program to increase awareness, the question arises if the community residents would both accept and use the technology even if there is no doubt about the success of solar water purification systems. It’s also difficult to gain acceptance from area residents and thereby identify potential clients within that area. The acceptance of the technology is made easier when families learn and are recommmended such a system by an institution they knew and trusted. <ref>EPSEA Solar Water Purification Project: http://www.networkearth.org/naturalbuilding/distiller.html</ref>
