| Abstract | 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water, but fresh water only accounts for 2.7% of total water in the world, and only 0.3% of freshwater can be directly used by humans (Zapata-Sierra et al., 2021). With the development of the world economy, population growth, and consumption of freshwater resources, the global per capita average of freshwater resources has dropped by half in the past 50 years, and the developed cities, island areas, and ships have more urgent demands for freshwater resources (Jones et al., 2019). It is predicted that three-quarters of the population in the world will suffer from freshwater shortages by 2050. In addition, the pollution of freshwater resources is more serious due to the impact of COVID-19, which has also accelerated research progress in the fields of freshwater protection and seawater desalination (Zhang et al., 2022). Desalination technology, which produces freshwater by removing salt and other mineral components from seawater, has become one of the most important solutions for water treatment and drinking water production in the world (Lin et al., 2021). At present, there are 19,000 existing desalination plants, which can produce more than 1×10 8 m 3 /day of fresh water (Alrowais et al., 2022). Most desalination plants are located in countries with a shortage of freshwater resources but rich in energy, such as the United States and Gulf states. In addition, China and India have developed rapidly in the field of seawater desalination... |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
