Solar Pond Performance Enhances Nonconventional Water Resource Availability

In the context of utilizing solar ponds, this research was commenced to enhance their performance so as to rely on them as a nonconventional water resources. Primarily, literature was reviewed in the field of solar ponds. The technique can be used to develop the energy needed for pumping, lifting, collecting or treating water. The agricultural sector users claim that water and energy face problems of environmental degradation due to resources scarcity. This research paper, data was gathered and analyzed, in terms of solar pond parameters such as depth of the upper gradient, shading effect, storage zones, daylight hours, ground temperature and covered insulation for different climate zones so as for different latitudes. The analyzed results indicated that solar ponds possess high potential in arid and semi-arid climates similar to Fayoum governorate, where it is distinguished by its ability to collect heat which can be utilized in different applications. The application cover desalination, electric power generation, salt purification, food and fishing industries. The solar pond technique utilized in many countries to act as the backbone for sustainable development in arid and semi-arid zones such as Victoria desert in Australia
