Baku: Starting from 2027, desalinated seawater is expected to be used in Azerbaijan’s Baku and nearby regions for drinking water supply. This plan was announced during the opening of the 2nd International Water Management Exhibition and Conference, “Baku Water Week.”
According to Trend News Agency, agreements with international companies in the relevant field will be finalized this year, and project documentation will be completed. In 2026, a pilot project will be launched to produce drinking water through seawater desalination. Once these processes are completed, from 2027 onwards, desalinated seawater will be integrated into the drinking water system of Baku and its surrounding areas.
