Water scarcity is the major problem that calls for the development and economy of the country. One of the best and most inexpensive methods to solve those problems were by solar distillation method. The productivity of the still depends upon many parameters. Expect water temperature other parameters cannot be altered. In this work sensible heat storage material; latent heat storage material was used along with biomass boiler and electric heaters to increase the water temperature in the still. An external glass cooling method was used to reduce the losses and increases the condensation rate in the still. Naturally available biomass such as wood was tried in this work as biomass fuel. Experiments are carried out by coupling various still designs such as the pyramid, multi-basin and single basin design with the biomass boiler and elecrtic heater. The single basin still was operated in the solar mode for comparison. Payback periods are calculated for various stills, the payback periods for biomass augmented stills are low when compared to solar stills and stills coupled with the heater. The multi-basin still with electric heater produces more yield than other shapes of design. The percentage of productivity for single basin still was 59% more than single basin solar still,66% more than pyramid still and 72% more in multi-basin still.
