Nama Water Services system worth more than RO 24 million, comprising fresh water carried by ship to 70 seaside villages at RO 6.6 million, a desalination plant in the Wilayat of Khasab and desalination units across Musandam Governorate at more than RO 17 million, with total governorate desalination capacity of more than 18,000 m3 a day, launched at Khasab under the governor Sayyid Ibrahim Said al Busaidi. Budget converted from RO 24 million at RO 0.3845 per US$, the World Bank official exchange rate (PA.NUS.FCRF) for 2023; the total includes RO 6.6 million of ship-borne supply, so it is not all desalination. Coordinates locate Khasab, the programme's hub named in the source, rather than a single plant, and are therefore given to two decimals.
