Wind Power to Clean Water, the Kenya case: Design of a wind driven reverse osmosis desalination system to be installed in Kilifi and a study of its implementation

Kenya is, along with many other countries mainly from Sub-Saharan Africa, suffering from severe problems on access to improved drinking water sources. The country is below the water scarcity threshold and not on track to meet the Millennium Development Goal target related to this aspect, and especially its rural communities are suffering this. Climate change is increasing the problems by raising global temperatures and causing droughts, which in agriculture-dependent countries like Kenya where the weather is already warm and the incomes are low they have a bigger impact. In addition, the country high population growth rate since 2010 is putting even more pressure on water and energy sources.Aerospace EngineeringSustainable Energy Technolog
