The Iraqi government has approved a proposal from the Basra Governorate to include four new water desalination projects in its development plans.

The approved plants are:

• Shatt Al-Arab Desalination Plant, with a capacity of 5,000 m³/hour;
• Al-Faw and Al-Seeba Desalination Plant, with a capacity of 3,000 m³/hour;
• Abu Floos Desalination Plant, with a capacity of 3,000 m³/hour;
• Safwan Desalination Plant, with a capacity of 1,000 m³/hour.

These projects aim to address the growing demand for potable water and support public health and infrastructure in the province.
