OTEC related: Mitigating drinking water problem. Islands and coastal rural areas lack sources of fresh water and often times have limited sources of power. One solution devised indigenously is to desalinate water by using the temperature difference between the surface and deep sea-layers. A 5000 litres per day low thermal desalination plant was inaugurated at chennai in June 2004 . A 100,000 litres per day low thermal desalination plant is under installation at Kavarati. Deployment of barge mounted desalination plants is also being considered.
