[EVENT] Government Announce Plan To Solve Water Issues

Currently over 21% of the country lacks a house connection to the national water supply, and 51% of our urban population lacks any sewage connection.

The primary reason behind much of this basic infrastructure problem lies in a set of failed deals to reform and enact widespread modernisation and connection in Argentina during the late 90s and early 2000s, as well as a lack of potable water.

In order to combat these and bring the people of Argentina into the 21st century and out of the 2nd world, several deals will be made in order to usher in widespread infrastructure reform.

#Plumbing and Supply Infrastructure:

While much of the problem rests in a poor supply of potable water, the old and outdated plumbing systems mean much of the new urbanised spaces as well as rural communities lack access to the national water supply, to combat this effectively and quickly a set of contracts has been drawn up to be offered to different companies to ensure the speed of the revitalisation. The contracts will be separated by urbanised districts and sold individually to bidding companies, rural areas will be separated by state district.

Overall the contracts total close to $10 billion over the next 5 years and will see the connection and modernisation of the Argentinian plumbing and national infrastructure finally after so many decades.

#Nuclear Desalination:

In order to combat the second problem of the amount of potable water we have access to, the government of Argentina will approach Saudi Arabia (failing this we will approach several other nations) for assistance and support in the construction of two large nuclear desalination plants in Argentina.

The first will be the largest plant ever built, at 1 million m3/d of water supplied by the plant, close to the capital of Beunos Aires, and will supply the vast majority of the water for the city and much of the surrounding provinces and urbanised areas.

The second will be much smaller at 600,000 m3/d and will be built in Chubut province to provide to the large rural community in the south of the country.

Argentina will set aside a maximum of a further $9 billion dollars over the next 4 years for the construction of these plants.
