Water is one of the most essential elements in life and we can't always rely on rainwater to fulfill our need, especially in the area with a very low rainfall rate. The government of Meranti Island District, Riau Province, has come up with a brilliant idea, they plan to process seawater through a distillation process. The process basically is to distill seawater and change it into clean drinking water. This project shows us that not everyone in the government is corrupt and wasteful. Creative and caring people still exist in the government. Head of Department of Public Works (PU) in Meranti Islands District, Syarifuddin, in Selatpanjang on Wednesday, said this project has been started and the budget has been prepared in advance. Syarifuddin also said they were optimistic that the program of seawater distillation will be successful and reap the welfare of local communities. "The success of this project is expected to provide satisfaction for most people in Meranti Islands who have been longing for clean drinking water, because so far we only rely on rainwater," he explained. The Regent of Meranti Islands, Irwan Nasir, said the project has been problem-free so far and we're still developing gradually."Hopefully there are no obstacles to complete this project and soon the public can enjoy clean water," he said. According to the Regent, the seawater distillation projects ,which is reportedly worth billions of rupiahs, will not only meet the needs of the community, but also the companies around the Meranti Archipelago. The companies' utilization of this project is expected to bring income for local revenue (PAD).
