Chile commits to water management as it becomes affected by drought more than any other country in the continent

 

Before an audience of about 200 people, the general director of Concessions of the Ministry of Public Works (MOP), Juan Manuel Sánchez, announced a tender this year for a new multipurpose desalination plant for Coquimbo (north-central Chile), under the current Concessions Law. “We are convinced that this contract will be able to meet different demands, including, for example, addressing agriculture or industry in their future. It is even likely that it will allow us to bring water to Ovalle [a neighboring town],” Sánchez said on Thursday, March 21 in Santiago, the Chilean capital.
