Odisha Inaugurates First Seawater Desalination Plant

Odisha Inaugurates First Seawater Desalination Plant

Odisha now has its first plant that turns salty ocean water into clean drinking water.

This plant uses a special process called reverse osmosis to do this.

The plant was built by a company called OSCOM and funded by the government.

It will provide 4 lakh liters of freshwater every day, helping about 7,000 people.

The plant will primarily supply water to nearby villages and OSCOM employees.

This is a big help because these villages have struggled with salty groundwater and water shortages, especially in the summer.
