With the increase of population in the world, shortage of potable water is becoming more noticeable. About 70% area of earth is covered with water. Out of which 98% is salt water and only 2% is fresh water, of that 1.6% is polar ice caps and glaciers, 0.4% is drinkable water from underground wells, rivers, , streams etc. Roughly one billion people or 14.7% of earth’s population do not have access to clean, safe and drinkable water. Our aim is to create an affordable unit, which would house a Fresnel lens. This lens would heat the unpurified water to a boiling point. A Fresnel lens is a special type of compact lens, which was originally created for use in lighthouses but has been used in different applications. The Fresnel lens water purifying system could be used in emergency situations where clean water is not available but another form of water source is such as a lake, river or sea. Although building a working prototype will represent many challenges, the concept of the product is very simple
