Nasiriyah Water Treatment Plant --Snapshot of Progress for Iraqi communities

One critical feature of the Nasiriyah Water Treatment Plant is its 12 water clarifiers. These do the final purification, through charcoal and sand filters. Once the water comes out of the clarifiers, it is pumped to holding tanks for use. When completed, the plant will provide water for about 500,000 people in five southern Iraq communities.
