Following the decline in rainfall in most countries, especially in arid zones, the urge for desalination to compensate water crises has increased. Water has always been vital to our lives. Given the fact that the amount of sanitary water available is low, we have to discover methods for water desali - nation on Earth. One of these methods is the use of solar stills for desalinating the brackish water. However, low production of available desalination plants necessitates finding ways to increase their output. Recently, this area has attracted a great deal of scientific attention. There are several meth ods to augment the water production in solar stills, one of which is the betterment of solar stills via airflow. The present study aimed to introduce different solar stills employing airflow in their struc -tures. This research demonstrated that solar stills would have a better performance if they benefited from airflow.
