20 Projects Underway to Boost Water Desalination Capacity

A total of 95 water desalination plants with an aggregate capacity of 634,000 cubic meters per day are either operational or being built across the country, the head of the Department of Financial Affairs at the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) said.
“Of these, 75 plants with a capacity of 440,000 cubic meters per day are operational and 20 projects with a capacity of about 200,000 cubic meters per day and an investment of $67 million are under construction,” Fariba Golrizan was also quoted as saying by the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven.
Over 90% of water supply contracts signed by desalination plants belong to Hormozgan, Bushehr, Sistan-Baluchestan and Khuzestan provinces that are located along the coastlines of the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman in the southern regions of Iran, she added.
