Doosan Hydro Technology Applauds NRS
Doosan Hydro Technology congratulates NRS Consulting Engineers for their outstanding contribution to the community
Tampa, FL, September 24, 2007– On September 10th the 2007 Desalination Project of the Year was presented to NRS Consulting Engineers, North Alamo Water Supply Corporation and Brownsville Public Utilities Board at the 22nd Annual WateReuse Symposium held in Tampa, Florida. Doosan Hydro Technology would like to congratulate the winners for their significant impact on the southern Texas community.
As the population in southern Texas rises, local dependence on surface water from the Rio Grande River increases. There has been a growing concern as the Rio Grande supply diminishes and drought continues to spread throughout the region. Doosan Hydro Technology has worked closely with NRS Consulting Engineers and North Alamo Water Supply Corporation on the North Cameron County and Lasara Reverse Osmosis Treatment Plants.
The North Cameron Reverse Osmosis Treatment Plant uses brackish groundwater previously thought to be unsuitable for public consumption. This alternative water source reduces the local dependence on surface water from the Rio Grande River and prepares the community for the upcoming population boom. In addition to the North Cameron County and Lasara projects, Doosan Hydro Technology is working with North Alamo Water Supply Corporation on two projects, Owassa and Doolittle, which are currently under construction.
Ali Kalantar, Doosan Hydro Technology CEO, said, “Doosan Hydro Technology has recently completed its third project in the area at the North Cameron County site, and two other projects under contract with North Alamo Water Supply Corporation at the Owassa and Doolittle sites will be handed over this year. We are thankful to NRS and North Alamo for their leadership, trust and teamwork during the execution of these successful projects.”
“Desalination is proving to be a cost-effective and drought-proof alternative to over-allocated surface water supplies in South Texas,” said NRS principal Jesus Leal. “North Alamo Water Supply Corp. has clearly established itself as a leader in implementing innovative solutions to water supply problems and is serving as a model for other communities exploring the desalination option.”
Doosan Hydro Technology will continue to develop desalination plants in regions where water scarcity is a concern and uphold its global reputation for providing design, manufacturing and construction of custom engineered water and waste water treatment plants.
