QINGDAO, March 22 (Xinhua) -- In recent years, Qingdao in east China's Shandong Province has vigorously developed the seawater desalination industry. Through the establishment of large-scale seawater desalination bases and connecting desalinated water to the municipal pipeline network, the city's water resources have been effectively supplemented. At present, Qingdao's seawater desalination projects have the capacity to produce over 300,000 cubic meters of fresh water per day, and nearly one-tenth of the water used by residents in the main urban areas comes from desalinated seawater.
