GWADAR: Desalination water plant established at a cost of Rs 1 billion to supply drinking water has been shut down today.

Officials of the Public Health and Engineering Department (PHED) said on Wednesday that the water plant was close down due to non-availability of required quantity of total dissolved solids (TDS) used for converting seawater into drinking water

The plant started in 2008 in Karwat area with a capacity to supply two million gallon water daily in the Gwadar city.

Sources said that, “Many technical faults were discovered making the plant non-functional. Even the National Accountability Bureau carried out an inquiry into its closure”.

Rs1 billion wasted.... hopefully new plant will work

I think it's probably a temporary shutdown due to lack of mineralization of the water... probably happened due to incompetence on the part of the managing body... people need to get fired.

What a waste of national treasury, are they dumb to not figured it all out before starting it?

Remember DHA karachi desalination plant. Who is going to hold these people accountable. Sacred cows?

Desalination is worst thing to ruined the sea life and pollute the sea water. May be it wise decision to shutdown. Because it will badly hurt the fishermen ...
