Many places in the world need more fresh ( 淡的) water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?
In some places , the sun isn’t hot enough , or it doesn’t shine every day. In these places, other ways of heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling ( 煮沸) sea water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.
But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is freezing ( 冷冻 ). The fresh part of salt water freezes first. To get fresh water , the pieces of ice are taken out.
Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way for each place.
Symi’s way seems very good for small , hot places, It doesn’t make very much water at a time , but the factory is easy to be built and doesn’t cost a lot!
That’s why people in many dry places talk about Symi!
