Rising Desalination Capacity to Help Overcome Water Challenges

There are 76 desalination plants in northern and southern coastal regions in Iran with a capacity of processing 407,000 cubic meters of saline water per day that will reach 800,000 cm/d by 2025, the head of Department of Financial Affairs in the National Water and Wastewater Engineering Company of Iran (Abfa) said.
“A total of 15 desalination projects with a processing capacity of 156,000 cubic meters of saline water will become operational in 2022,” Fariba Golrizan was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
To tackle the country’s water shortage, desalination is becoming an attractive method to supply water to households and industries. 
“All initiatives are being undertaken by the private sector in the dry provinces of the south and the current processing capacity is expected to reach 567,000 cubic meters per day over the next 15 months,” she said.
