Nama Water Services system worth more than RO 24 million, comprising fresh water carried by ship to 70 seaside villages at RO 6.6 million, a desalination plant in the Wilayat of Khasab and desalination units across Musandam Governorate at more than RO 17 million, with total governorate desalination capacity of more than 18,000 m3 a day, launched at Khasab under the governor Sayyid Ibrahim Said al Busaidi. Budget converted from RO 24 million at the pegged rate of 2.6008 dollars to the rial. Coordinates locate Khasab, the programme's hub named in the source, rather than a single plant, and are therefore given to two decimals.
