Acknowledgment

The members of team carbon would like to acknowledge the help and guidance of Mr Eoin Ward as the supervisor of team Carbon for his time and effort involved in the teams project. Team Carbon would also like to thank other Lectures and members of the college for their guidance and help with the project such as the following: Ronan Dunbar, Sean Glennon, James Hopkins, Tommy Digan, Joe Coyne and Christy Hopkins. The project would simply not be at the level we achieved without the help and guidance of the names listed above. So with this in mind we sincerely thank each individual that help in any way in the projects evolution and making it possible.

Abstract
The Desalination of Sea Water Using Forms of Renewable Energies
Safe drinking water is one of the world’s major problems as currently 4000 children die every day as a direct result of unsafe Drinkwater and 879 million
