July 28, Colombo (LNW): As part of its Naval Social Responsibility project, the Sri Lanka Navy inaugurated two new Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants in Palugaswewa and Kekirawa, Anuradhapura, on 26th July 2024.
Under the guidance of Vice Admiral Priyantha Perera, the Navy utilised its manpower and technical expertise to install these RO plants, marking the 1020th and 1021st projects of this nature.
These installations, located in the villages of Kumbukwewa and Shasthraweli, address a significant need for safe drinking water.
The projects were executed with the support of the Ministry of Health and funding from the Presidential Secretariat.
The new facilities are expected to provide reliable access to clean drinking water for the residents of these villages.
Reverse osmosis is a water purification process that removes ions, unwanted molecules and larger particles from drinking water using a partially permeable membrane.
