Citizen of Ulaanbaatar might face drinking water shortage by 2030

There is a high risk that citizen of Ulaanbaatar will face drinking water shortages by 2030. This estimation has come from a study that shows that citizens use 300 thousand cubic meters of drinking water a day.

This means the current water reserve is used at full capacity. Therefore officials who are working in this area noted they need to find a new water reserve in order to prevent a drinking water crisis.

For Mongolia, focusing on exploration to find a new water reserve is more vital than reaping the mining benefits. But there also needs to be consideration of water saving tactics due to wasteful usage of water.

Officials working in this sector have considered using grey-water for the past years, but no progress is yet in place to make this a reality.
