Desalination plant in Gwadar

One of the most precious commodities in Gwadar district is water. Petty thieves mostly target water than anything else during the discharge of their professional activities. In this area, water tanks are often protected through padlocks. It is therefore heartening to note that Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Qamar Javed Bajwa has laid the foundation stone of United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Swiss governments’ supported Gwadar desalination plant at Gwadar. Upon its completion, this project will certainly meet the demand of people. It has been reported that the plant would provide people 4.4 million gallons water per day with a capacity to increase to 8.8 million gallons per day.

No doubt, availability of water in this port town is highly critical to its overall development.
