Sindh Government starts Reverse Osmosis plants
http://tribune.com.pk/story/730426/m...rts-ro-plants/ KARACHI: Sindh government has started on Wednesday Reverse Osmosis plants in different areas so that sea water can be used as drinking water.
According to sources, PPP chairperson Asif Ali Zardari and Patron-in-chief- Bilawal Bhutto Zardari have given special orders to provide potable water to Mawach Goth, Panch So Quarters, Musharraf Colony, Maripur, Lyari and Qasim Muhalla.
These RO plants will convert ground water and sea water into drinking water for the residents of these areas.
The plants will draw sea water out through tube wells and it will then be converted into mineral water after going through four different kinds of treatments. Several of these areas are suffering from a severe water crisis since the pipelines have broken down.
This crisis is worsened by the incompetency of the water board and electricity providers. Several people don’t have enough water to drink or use even in Ramazan and this will help solve that problem. The plants will also help people who live in the area.
