Demand for drinking water will increase in Baku and the Absheron Peninsula

 

By 2040, the daily demand for drinking water in Baku and the Absheron Peninsula is expected to increase from the current level of 1.25 million m3 to 1.8 million m3.
This was reported in the "Engineering and communication infrastructure" section of the General Plan of Baku.
In the next period, it is planned to build new reservoirs and main water lines, significantly reduce the losses in the network for the efficient use of drinking water.
It was noted that currently about 70 percent of the population in the Absheron Peninsula does not have access to a centralized sewage system, and only part of the wastewater (435,000 m3 per day) is treated and discharged into the Caspian Sea. As part of increasing the capacity of the sewerage system, it is proposed to build 4 new local water treatment plants.

Implementation of these projects will increase the efficiency of the wastewater treatment system in Baku by more than 2.5 times.

In addition, the treated and treated wastewater will feed Boyukshor, Bulbula, Khojahasan and Zykh lakes, as well as maintain the balance of water basins, and will be able to produce up to 145 million m3 of additional technical water per year for technical purposes, irrigation and landscaping.
