Abstract

The article focuses on the State Program for improving water supply, wastewater, and stormwater systems in Baku and the Absheron Peninsula for 2026-2035, particularly addressing the desalination of Caspian Sea water. The Azerbaijani State Water Resources Agency (ADSEA) is collaborating with Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power company on a pilot project to produce drinking water through seawater desalination, with a planned capacity of 300,000 cubic meters per day. The project aims to enhance water security and meet the growing demand in the region, as only 30% of Azerbaijan's water resources are sourced domestically. Experts highlight the economic efficiency of desalinating Caspian Sea water due to its lower salinity and emphasize the need for wastewater treatment to prevent pollution in the Caspian Sea.
