The Sindh government has decided to build a desalination plant to overcome water scarcity for residents of Karachi.
Addressing a dialogue at the Institute of Business Administration on “Karachi: The way forward”, the city’s administrator, Murtaza Wahab, said the Ibrahim Hyderi coastal area of the city has been chosen to build a desalination plant.
He told the audience that initially the plant would produce two million gallons of desalinated water daily (MGD). Later, the capacity of the plant would be scaled up to five MGD.
Wahab said desalination had been effectively utilised as one of the means to fulfil water supply needs of many coastal cities around the world.
