[파키스탄] 지연되었던 담수화 사업 진행
 
파키스탄의 National Accountability Bureau(NAB)의 회장 Qamar Zaman Chaudhry는 Karwat와 Gwadar 지역에 위치한 2 Ml/d 규모의 담수화 플랜트의 최종 운영을 참고해 Balochistan 지역에 플랜트 사업을 추진했다. 이 플랜트는 지난 3개월 동안 Gwadar와 Jevni 지역에 식수를 제공하기 위한 운영을 시작했다.
 
2006년 초 처음으로 추진된 이 사업은 NAB가 지역의 산업 영역에서 다양한 어려움이 존재한다는 점을 인식, 플랜트를 통해 Gwadar와 Jeewani 지역의 25만 명에게 물을 공급해야 한다는 결정에 따라 실현됐다.

Pakistan province pushes delayed desalination project 
 
Pakistan's National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman, Qamar Zaman Chaudhry, has pushed the bureau's Balochistan arm to bring a long-awaited 2 Ml/d desalination plant at Karwat, Gwadar finally into operation. 
 
The plant has started functioning for the past three months to provide potable water to the cities of Gwadar and Jevni.
 
At its outset in 2006 the project was proposed initially, for the region's industrial zone but following various difficulties the NAB decided that water from the plant should be provided to the 250,000 people of Gwadar and Jeewani.
 
The NAB claimed the long-awaited plant was recently completed following its persistent efforts. Chaudhry ordered NAB Balochistan to conduct an inquiry into the delays in the plant's progress. Following investigations into the contractors and Balochistan officials, all parties agreed to resume work.
 
NAB said it drove the construction of a pipeline to supply water from the plant to Gwadar city and adjoining areas. The contractor was bound to operate and maintain the plant for one year after commissioning.
 
Balochistan, is one of the four provinces of Pakistan, located in the southwestern region of the country. Its largest city is the provincial capital Quetta.
