DRDO Develops Portable Water Purifier for Soldiers in Remote Areas:
India’s defence research ecosystem has taken another step to support troops operating in extreme and remote conditions. The Defence Research and Development Organisation has developed a portable water purification system that can be manually operated in the field. Designed mainly for soldiers, the system can convert saline water into safe drinking water, ensuring reliable hydration during long patrols and deployments in water-scarce regions.The Defence Research and Development Organisation has developed a hand-operated Sea Water Desalination System (SWaDeS) to meet the drinking water needs of soldiers deployed in remote, coastal, and high-altitude areas.
