Bushehr Building Desalination Plants to Boost Water Supply in 2023

Bushehr Water and Wastewater Company is constructing several desalination plants across the southern province with a total capacity of 100,000 cubic meters per day, which are expected to gradually come on stream by 2023, managing director of the company said.
“Currently, 10% of the drinking water required in Bushehr Province are supplied by desalination plants. The figure is predicted to increase by more than 30% when the projects are completed,” Nematollah Torki was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
Elaborating on some of the projects, Torki said the desalination plant on Shif Island will be launched next month and the first phase of a plant in Bushehr County with a capacity of 17,000 cubic meters per day will come on stream by March 2022.
