Desalination Industry Thriving in Hormozgan, But Worries Linger

The number desalination plants in southern Hormozgan Province has increased threefold in the past six years, but such development projects should be given higher priority as water scarcity looms in the province, managing director of the Hormozgan Water and Wastewater Company said.
“There are 45 units in the region which supply 250,000 cubic meters of seawater a day, up 525% compared to 2013,” Amin Qasmi was quoted as saying by IRNA.
In 2013, only 15 units were operating with daily capacity of 40,000 cubic meters, he said.
