heal.abstract	A mathematical model for direct solar regeneration of hygroscopic solutions in shallow basins is presented in this article. The model is based on the enthalpy balance, mass balance, and rate equations that describe the system. The solar radiation, air temperature, humidity, velocity, as well as the initial concentration, temperature, and mass of the solution are used as input data to the model. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with experimental values that were obtained in experiments using water and calcium chloride solutions at various concentrations. The effect of weather conditions on the evaporation rate of water from such solutions is also presented. © 1993.	en
