Desalination Capacity of Bushehr Province to Double by March 2022

As groundwater resources in the southern Bushehr Province are drying up, desalination capacity will double in the dry region to reach 70,000 cubic meters per day by March 2022, the energy minister said.
“Three desalination units with a capacity of processing 35,000 cubic meters of saline water per day are active and one more will become operational by the yearend,” Ali Akbar Mehrabian was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Saline water processing capacity has increased by 25,000 cm/d (from 10,000 cm/d in 2017 to 35,000 cm/d at present) in the region in the last three years.
However, Mehrabian stressed that more such units are needed to help people in rural areas quench their thirst.
