“…The cost of water purification technology and increase energy is the major issue; on the other hand, given the increasing demand for purifying water, there must be some sustainable and suitable methods [4]. To resolve this problem, worldwide research has been undertaken based on thermal and localized photo-thermal heating for the water purification process; solar water purification technology has also always been a research hotspot worldwide, and many variations have been made recently [5][6][7][8][9]. Optical nanotechnology is a method of purifying water with the support of sunlight and is suitable for transporting it to remote areas.…”

The global demand for drinking water is increasing day by day. Different methods are used for desalination of water, which can help in the conservation of resources, such as seawater, highly saline, or treated water underground reservoirs. Polluted water can be treated by the utilization of different advanced techniques. In this study, wastewater mixed canal water has been taken into consideration for the utilization of humans and agriculture use as well. A two-stage conceptual methodology has been proposed to deal with the water conservation and utilization process. In the first phase, power has been produced using a Belgian vortex turbine, which is a safe, efficient, and eco-friendly technology working without disturbing waterways. The power produced by the vortex machine will be utilized to operate the water treatment plant to obtain clean water for utilization in the second phase. Since enough energy is produced, and its availability to the water head level base is a natural resource, this energy can be used to fulfill daily water requirements by maximizing the energy-driven treatment process as per WHO Guidelines. Water quality can be monitored at regular intervals, depending upon the selection and installation of a treatment plant. An increase in efficiency comes from nearly exponential patterns depending on water velocity and availability. This technique will not only help in the production of clean water but will also help in the conservation of groundwater resources and the efficient utilization of wastewater.
