Researchers are using solar technology to purify bore water in a north-west Queensland town, Dajarra, south of Mount Isa, has had issues with the quality and taste of its bore water for several years. Researchers from the University of Queensland have set up solar panels on the roof of the community hall to see if it will purify the water. Spokesman Dr Lance Newey says the team is trialing the technology, and hopes to use it on other buildings in the town. "Essentially you flow the bore water into solar panels which capture sunlight, which heats the water", he said. "Then this particular technology separates out the very heavy chemical water from that water which is more purified as it undergoes a heating process".
