Water Desalination Taking Center Stage in Bandar Abbas

The second development phase of Bandar Abbas water desalination unit in Hormozgan Province became operational on Thursday, managing director of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
"Using reverse osmosis technology, the plant purifies 20,000 cubic meters of water a day and is planned to reach 100,000 cubic meters by June 2020," Amin Qasmi was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal.
To help address the water crisis in the region where underground resources are drying up rapidly, producing water from saline water sources which contain a high concentration of dissolved salt is inevitable, he noted.
