The works will include the expansion of the plant, which will increase its production capacity from 80 cubic hectometres to 120.
The Torrevieja desalination plant was conceived to produce 40 hectometres for urban supply and 40 for irrigation communities. It has been distributing flows since approximately 2013, at first with just marginal demand, but now the demand has almost doubled.
With a daily capacity of 300 m3, the new desalination plant will meet 100% of the water requirements for the Red Sea Diving Safari – Marsa Shagra complex throughout the year. The water produced by the plant will be supplied to the hotel’s guests through a distribution network.
The desalination plants are part of the UAE’s Gallant Knight 3 humanitarian operation to address the dire water infrastructure situation in Gaza.
They will provide clean drinking water for 300,000 people by processing approximately 600,000 gallons of seawater each day, and sending it across the Gaza Strip through a network of pipes
Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has announced that it has signed power purchase agreements with consortiums of Al Jomaih Energy and Water as well as Saudi Electricity Company for its key conventional independent power plant (IPP) projects – Taiba-1, Taiba-2, Qassim-1, and Qassim-2 – being set up in the kingdom at an investment of nearly SR29 billion ($7.8 billion).
South West Water (SWW) announced in March it was planning to have two desalination plants by this September.
Rispetto a quasi cinquant’anni fa la situazione in Italia è peggiorata. „Dobbiamo cominciare da casa nostra – spiega, incontrando i giornalisti a margine dei lavori – l’Italia è determinata nella risposta alla crisi idrica. Molto è cambiato in termini di conoscenze, strumenti e strategie. Ma è evidente che non abbiamo fatto abbastanza per combattere quella che è una delle gravi emergenze planetarie“. „Nessuno – aggiunge – deve sentirsi estraneo a questa tragedia“.
Supporters of the 50-million-gallon-a-day desalination plant, to be built near the coast in Huntington Beach, argued it would be a drought-proof source of potable water during a time when water is expected to become a scarce resource.
Dam filling rate has dropped to 23% in Morocco on average in November with some critical dams such as Al Massira- supplying Casablanca- completely depleted.
Construction works for the biggest desalination plant in Casablanca would start next year. It will be able to pump fresh water by 2027, according to the water ministry.
The Casablanca desalination plant will have a capacity of 300 cubic meters, enough to ensure water security of Morocco’s largest city and its surroundings.
JSE-listed Growthpoint Properties and the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), equal joint owners of the Victoria & Alfred (V&A) Waterfront in Cape Town, will be commissioning a R184 million desalination plant in the precinct in March and April next year.
At full capacity, it will enable the Waterfront to go off the water grid.
David Green, the chief executive of the V&A Waterfront, confirmed the desalination plant is scalable and could provide between 3.5 million and five million litres of water per day.
The plant produces 50 million gallons of desalinated seawater (MGD) a day and provide 10% of the total drinking water needed by San Diego. It supplies 56,000 acre-feet (approximately 2,440 cubic feet) of water a year, sufficient for 300,000 people.
