Supply of desalinated water to Hormozgan Province will increase by 30% or 40,000 cubic meters per day to 170,000 cm/d in March.
"Desalination plants in the southern region, which produce 130,000 cubic meters of potable water a day, meet 26% of local demand. Wells and dams account for the majority 74%," managing director of Hormozgan Regional Water Company Houshang Mollaee was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry news website.
Bandar Abbas Desalination Plant that became operational last month produces 200,000 cubic meters of drinking water a day all of which is piped to Kerman and Yazd via a 300-km pipeline and seven pumping stations.
