The Low-Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD) technology uses natural ocean temperature gradients to evaporate warm surface seawater under low pressure and condense it using deep cold seawater, producing freshwater sustainably. Designed for islands with deep-sea access, LTTD is environmentally friendly, fully indigenous, and already deployed across multiple Lakshadweep Islands with proven long-term reliability.
