KARACHI: Asia’s largest reverse osmosis plant, having a capacity to produce 2 million gallons of water daily, was inaugurated today in Pakistan’s drought-ridden Sindh province. The plant which is billed to produce two million gallons of water per day is expected to reduce the water crisis in Tharparkar district where last year hundreds of children have lost their lives by drinking untreated water.
Former President Asif Ali Zardari inaugurated the plant. Zardari, who is also co-chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party which heads the province, said his party was committed to provide clean drinking water to the people of the area.
Zardari said Asia’s biggest RO plant has been set up at a cost of Rs 300 million while many smaller plants having a capacity of 10,000 gallons per day have also been set up across the region.
