The Sistan region is experiencing significant water stress due to an ongoing drought and water scarcity crisis. In response, the utilization of saline water resources through desalination techniques has become crucial for addressing diverse water demands in this area. This study explores the efficiency of single and double slope Solar stills in Zabol City. The dimensions of the basin Solar stills were 60×95 cm, which covered with glass. To increase the absorption capacity and reduce thermal energy waste, the tank color was chosen to be dark. Inside the Solar stills thermometer was placed to measure the temperature. The results showed that the evaporative-distillation process lead to remove the pollutant and improve the improved quality indicators, including water hardness (TDS), salinity (EC), and BOD in the produced freshwater. The findings indicated that evaporative distillation led to the removal of pollutants and improved quality indicators, including total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). A comparison of the internal temperatures of the systems indicated that the highest internal temperature was created in the double-slope basin solar stills, which was significantly higher than that of the single-slope type (p ≤ 0.01). The findings also showed that the double-slope solar still had a higher efficiency (28.6%) than the single-slope type (24.5%), which was statistically significant at the one percent level (p ≤ 0.01). Comparing the performance of double-slope and single-slope solar stills showed that the double-slope system has higher performance in producing fresh water, and the use of solar energy is considered a potential for the development of evaporation-distillation desalination plants in the Sistan.

Water is one of the basic needs of human life and good health on earth. Access to water is one of the most important challenges in developing countries, especially in dry areas. So that with population growth and socio-economic development of societies, countries are limited in meeting their water needs. The most important sources of surface and underground water in some places are salty, which needs to be desalination. One of them is the solar distillation method. This method is very simple and low-cost, and it is suitable for supplying water to areas with low population and places where water supply is difficult. This method is very simple and low-cost, and it is suitable for supplying water to areas with low population and places where water supply is difficult.
This study explores the efficiency of single and double slope Solar stills in Zabol City. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of the single and double-slope solar still collectors in the climatic conditions of Zabol city in the southeast of the country.
