Desalinated Water to Meet 60% of Hormozgan’s Water Needs by 2022

Over 45 million cubic meters of drinking water in Hormozgan are supplied annually through desalination.
Currently, 26% of the province's water needs are met through the purification of seawater and 74% are provided by surface and groundwater resources, managing director of the provincial Water and Wastewater Company said.
"With the completion of desalination projects in urban and rural areas of the province, more than 60% of the province's water will be supplied through desalination by the end of the current Iranian year (March 2022), and dependence on surface and groundwater will drop to 40%,” IRNA also quoted Amin Qasemi as saying.
