WITSAND NEWS - A site, part of Witsand village suffering from critical water shortages, was designated for the implementation of this first solar powered desalination unit.
The plant will produce 100kl of fresh water per day powered by the solar energy only, to address the normal local water requirement.
The first highly cost-effective solar powered desalination plant in South Africa will be commissioned by the end of October at Witsand.
Hessequa Executive Mayor Grant Riddles said: “The shortage of water in the Western-Cape is a harsh reality and only by implementing preventative measures, Hessequa Municipality will be able to create water resource stability in our region.”
