Desalination for Water Supply and Design-Build-Operate Contract 7 December 2017 Philippines ADB is developing a 24 MLD desalination plant for water supply provision in the Jaffna peninsula, Sri Lanka through a design-build-operate (DBO) contract. This is the first large-scale desalination plant for drinking water supply financed by ADB, and serves as a good case for DBO application to attract top leading players. Both DBO and the desalination systems are the trend for future projects' procurement processes and water supply investments. This one-day workshop served as a platform to share the experiences and the lessons learnt during the project development process.
