Small South African fishing village turning sea water into drinking water using solar power

• Yes, the small South African fishing village of Witsand is indeed turning sea water into drinking water using solar power.
• The village's solar-powered desalination plant was co-funded by the Western Cape Government's Drought Relief Fund and the French government's treasury, and was developed to help increase Witsand's water supply due to a prolonged period of low rainfall.
• The successful implementation of the desalination plant has provided a reliable source of drinking water for the village, and its use of solar power has set a positive example for sustainable water management in the region.
