Summary:World is growing very fast as the population and technological development increased every day. Shortage of water becomes a significant obstacle in the development process of many parts of the world due to global warming and salinity of natural potable resource lead us to find out smart techniques of desalination of saline and brackish water. Many research works are successful in establish large desalination plant. But decidedly fewer attempts are made for the arid region where low cost; maintenance free and low operating cost techniques are needed. Fast developing and under developing country are facing problems for providing pure drinking water to all the peoples. In this review, one attempt is made to study different solar desalination techniques and find out the solution by combinations of varying desalination techniques for the small and arid region.
