Discover the pioneering Desalination Plant in Kavaratti, Lakshadweep—a testament to India's innovative strides in sustainable technology. Established in 2005 by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), this facility employs Low Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD), utilizing the natural temperature gradient between warm surface seawater and cold deep-sea water to produce 100,000 liters of potable water daily. Building upon this success, Kavaratti is now home to the world's first Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) powered desalination plant. This innovative system generates its own electricity by harnessing the ocean's thermal energy, eliminating reliance on diesel generators and reducing environmental impact. Beyond technological advancements, the plant has significantly improved public health, with a reported 90% reduction in waterborne diseases following its installation . As a beacon of eco-friendly innovation, the Kavaratti Desalination Plant not only addresses freshwater scarcity but also positions Lakshadweep as a leader in sustainable development.
