Desalination in the southern Bushehr Province increased 2.5 fold in the past three years but is not enough, head of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
“Two desalination units produce 25,000 cubic meters of saline water a day and one more will come on stream this summer,” the Energy Ministry news portal quoted Abdolhamid Hamzehpour as saying.
The new plant, being built by private companies in the form of build–own–operate (BOO) contracts, will produce 35,000 cubic meters a day to meet the needs of 70,000 people, he said.
