Story of Padma water works in Bangladesh

(sinomach.com.cn)

Water, the source of life, is not easy to access for some regions. That is especially true of potable water.

The Padma Water Treatment Plant, which was undertaken by Sinomach subsidiary China CAMC Engineering Co Ltd in Bangladesh, provides clean and safe surface drinking water for local people, and greatly enhances the capacity to supply purified water to the capital Dhaka, benefiting about three million residents.

The Belt and Road Initiative International Green Development Coalition (BRIGC) released its BRI Green Development Case Studies (2020) on Dec 1, 2020. Thirteen projects were selected for review, including the Padma Water Treatment Plant in Bangladesh undertaken by China CAMC Engineering Co (CAMCE), a subsidiary of Sinomach.

Sheikh Hasina, Prime Minister of Bangladesh, attended the opening ceremony and inaugurated the plant on Oct 11, 2019. Since its operation, the project has provided clean drinking water for local people, and greatly enhanced the capacity to supply purified water to the capital Dhaka, benefiting about three million residents.

It has also contained the geological hazards caused by the excessive exploitation of local groundwater, improved the sanitary conditions, and played an important role in promoting local economic development and environmental protection.
