1 US dollar!
The desalinated water at this price was cheaper than some of the water pumped from the underground aquifer! Attri never heard of such a powerful water desalination technology!
The cost of seawater desalination was highly dependant on the local electricity price. Xin had no oil production and used renewable resources for electricity generation. While it was environmentally friendly, electricity was not cheap. Based on CWW's estimate, a desalination plant on Coro Island, even with the most advanced equipment, would have a cost of 2 US dollar per ton.
So when Jiang Chen suggested the cost of 0.5 US dollars, Attri was very shocked.
Even with a nuclear power plant on Coro Island, the desalinated water wouldn't be so cheap!
Both parties quickly reach an agreement and penned the negotiating terms.
