In numbers, this means that 4 billion litres less water will be extracted from the ground annually, in addition to expected production of 9 million litres daily thanks to the new osmosis plant which is planned for construction in Gozo. In addition, the agricultural sector will get access to 7 billion litres of recycled water every year, by the 70 km of network and over 400 automated dispensers.
