Access to water constitutes a necessary condition in order to ensure life. This paper deals with the development of an innovative energy autonomous system in order to provide drinking water in isolated small communities, using brackish water as feedstock. The case study is a small village in Jordan, where the system that was designed and constructed in Greece, was installed. The unique characteristic of the innovative system is its compact form that incorporates the reverse osmosis unit and the renewable energy production from three sources, wind, solar and water. The energy autonomous system for the production of drinking water from brackish water can be used as a decentralized unit for isolated areas where access to clean water and electricity is not available.
