Nearly 75.29 million litres of water is being supplied to the southern parts of the city daily now. Though the plant has a capacity to treat 110 mld of seawater, production is restricted to balance more drawal of water from the reservoirs. Water supply has not been stopped as the work is being taken up in phases.
German industrial group Butting has been commissioned to supply a modular, prefabricated desalination plant for Israel that can produce 200,000 cubic metres of drinking water from the Mediterranean a year.
According to TotalEnergies, the 17-megawatt peak solar project will be the first of its kind to be installed in the region. It produces annually over 30,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of green electricity, or more than a third of the desalination plant’s daily consumption, enabling it to avoid close to 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions.Source)

…Ranatunga said that Sri Lanka received the backing of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to implement the project meant to turn seawater to drinking water.
Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) is looking into setting up water desalination plants at eight major ports along South Africa’s coastline.
These desalination plants, if developed, will form part of a water purchase agreement between TNPA and the selected service provider, while the land and water space would „continue to be owned and controlled“ by Transnet.
Water supply to parts of south Chennai will be disrupted till Tuesday evening as work has been taken up to repair a damaged pipeline in the 110 mld desalination plant at Nemmeli.
Mais, de plus en plus, des usines sont construites pour fournir de l’eau utilisée pour l’irrigation des plantations. C’est le cas de la station de dessalement de dessalement d’Agadir (au Maroc), actuellement en construction, avec une capacité attendue de 275 000 m3 par jour. Une partie de l’eau traitée, c’est-à-dire 125 000 m3 par jour, alimentera un système d’irrigation dans la plaine de Chtouka, au centre-ouest du Maroc.
En Afrique du Sud, l’un des pays africains les plus touchés par les pénuries d’eau ces dernières années, Lucky Star, un fabricant de conserves de poissons s’est doté de deux usines de dessalement d’eau de mer privées […]
Climate change and unsustainable water management are leaving lakes dried up all over the Middle East and beyond, but the Israeli government is hopeful it has a solution: It plans to pump water from the Mediterranean sea, take the salt out of it and send it across the country to top up the lake when needed.
In Israel, for example, five massive desalination plants on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea produce nearly a half-million acre feet of fresh water per year, an amount the nation plans to double by 2030. Israel’s Sorek Desalination Plant, located a few miles south of Tel Aviv, produces 185,000 acre feet of fresh water per year, from a highly automated operation that occupies only about 25 acres. Approximately 80 percent of Israel’s municipal water comes from desalination, and this nation of 9 million people is now exporting surplus water to Jordan.
