The desalination plant has a production capacity of 254,000 gallons of clean drinking water. He said that the desalination plant would reduce the shortage of drinking water in the port city to some extent. The desalination plant is the result of the visionary thinking of Chairman of the Gwadar Port Authority Mir Dostain Khan Jamaldani and the Chairman of China Overseas Port Holding Company. He said that the water supply from the Gwadar port would be cheaper than the water provided from the Mirani Dam in Turbat.
