The purifier is hoped to supply fresh water to 12,000 households in the communes of Chau Hoa, Phong Nam and Phong My in Giong Trom district.

The water purifier, worth over 1.2 billion VND (51,357 USD) funded by PetroVietnam Gas (PV Gas), has a capacity of 8 cu.m of water per hour.

Once become operational, the purifier can provide each household in drought-affected areas with a maximum of 60 liters of water per day.

The sponsorship for installing saltwater treatment systems in Ben Tre province has contributed to helping locals have access to hygienic water, and save costs for buying water.

According to Doan Van Danh, Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Ben Tre province, in addition to the RO water purifier system installed in Chau Hoa commune, PV Gas had also funded a water purifier system in Tien Thuy commune of Chau Thanh district.

So far, a total of 24 RO water purifier systems have been installed in 35 water plants in Ben Tre province.

Danh said more than 1,000 organizations, individuals and businesses donated water tanks, water purifiers and water bags to the local authorities to help locals tackle water shortages caused by drought and saline intrusion./.
