Description

In early December 2014, China sent water bottles on commercial airliners including 32.5 tons of water from Mega Maldives and China Southern Airlines and 5 tons of water bottles from Emirates (following urgent contact on the part of CMEC, a Chinese machinery company) to the Maldives. In addition, China had the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) Changxingdao warship deliver 600 tons of drinking water to Male Port. Then the PLAAF sent two planes to deliver 40 tons of water to Male International Airport. The project is linked to project #38403 where China provided a $500,000 emergency grant to the Maldives' government to speed up repairs in a desalination plant and restore water to the capital following a fire at a desalinization plant that threatened Male's water supply in 2014.
