MIT engineers have built a new desalination system that runs with the rhythms of the sun.
The solar-powered system removes salt from water at a pace that closely follows changes in solar energy.
The engineers tested a community-scale prototype on groundwater wells in New Mexico over six months .
The researchers see brackish groundwater as a huge untapped source of potential drinking water.
The new system is able to update its desalination rate three to five times per second .
The faster response time enables the system to adjust to changes in sunlight throughout the day .
Engineers plan to further test and scale up the system in hopes of supplying larger communities with low-cost, fully sun-driven drinking water.
