Scientist proposes to use purified water

According to the head of the organic fertilizer laboratory of the Institute of Soil Studies under the Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan Mr. Zamanov, when the population of Baku was 1.5 million people (at present the figure is twice as big), the capital was consuming over 600,000 cubic meters of water per day, which was dumped into the aeration station in Hovsan with a subsequent purification and release into the sea.

The scientist says it is time to think of the possibility of recovering at least a portion of the water for a repeated use. As an example, he referred to Cheliabinsk, Russia, which has used this practice since the Soviet times.

After a complete purification, the water is fit for fully addressing technical needs. It is also good for irrigation purposes, as drain waters contain a lot of organic substances and it is not at all difficult to calculate the benefits of such water circulation on Absheron, which has always been short of it.*
