[캄보디아] 담수화 플랜트 건설을 위해 이스라엘 컨소시엄과 협력

다르에스살람의 수자원 당국이 탄자니아 상업도시의 물 부족을 절감하기 위한 두 개의 역삼투압 담수화 플랜트 건설을 위해 이스라엘 컨소시엄과 협력을 계획하고 있다고 밝혔다.

다르에스살람의 상·하수 회사의 최고경영자인 Jackson Midala은 "건설된 플랜트는 하루 1억㎥ 담수화된 물을 제공할 예정이며 이 프로젝트는 언제든지 시작할 수 있지만 전체 비용을 공개하지 않을 예정"이라고 설명했다.

또한, Dawasco 최고권위자는 " 이 계획은 Ruvu강으로부터의 물 공급 의존도를 절감하고 이 강이 지역에 깨끗하고 안전한 물에 대한 수요 90%를 충족할 수 있도록 계획됐다."고 말했다. 한편, 이 플랜트는 다르에스살람에 건설되는 첫 담수화 플랜트가 될 예정이다.

Water authorities in Dar-es-Salaam are planning to work with an Israeli consortium in constructing two reverse osmosis desalination plants to alleviate water shortage in the Tanzanian commercial capital.

The Dar es Salaam Water and Sewerage Corporation chief executive officer, Engineer Jackson Midala, said yesterday that the plant will supply desalinated water at 100 million m³/d. He said the project was expected to start any time from now, but declined to disclose its total cost.
 
The Dawasco chief said the initiative aimed to reduce over dependence on water from the Ruvu River.  The river is projected to meet over 90% of the demand for clean and safe water in the region.

Midala said dwindling traditional water sources and growing settlement and industry along the Ruvu river banks have reduced its capacity to meet the daily water demand in Dar .
 
Midala said "We are now working on securing land permits and electricity for the project to kick start." Following surveys, Mbezi-Ununio and Kigamboni, emerged as recommended sites for the desalination plants.
 
Meanwhile, Midala said negotiations are underway for a Japanese technology firm to establish a similar project in the country.

The plants will be the first desalination plants to be built in the country, according to water minister, Professor Jumanne Maghembe. He said a similar project is to be established for Handeni town residents in Tanga region to boost their water supply.
