Desalination Expands in Qeshm

To ease water shortages in southern Hormozgan Province, supply of desalinated water to Salakh rural district on Qeshm Island has increased fourfold to reach 1,200 cubic meters per day, deputy managing director of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
"Desalination plants in the region, which annually produce 47 million cubic meters of potable water, meet 26% of the total demand. Wells and dams account for 74%," Ahmad Shakeri was quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry news portal.
Output rose in Salakh after expansion of the desalination plant.
“Up until March, 4,000 residents of the region were supplied water via tankers. Now that has ended.”
