Recycling water for agriculture in Bahrain
Countries in the Middle East face a constant challenge with delivering sufficient water for an increasing population, both for drinking water and irrigation for agriculture. In Bahrain, the largest water treatment works in the country has undergone a huge redevelopment and Nordic Water, a Sulzer brand, has retrofitted the original sand filter basins with DynaSand filters. This, together with a recent expansion of the filtration systems, has enabled the plant to treat 250’000 m³/day for irrigation, the equivalent of 100 Olympic swimming pools every day.
