Water in Saudi Arabia

  • New water strategy planned in Saudi Arabia

    SAUDI ARABIA, 2014/01/04 Governor of the General Organization for Water Desalination (GOWD) Abdul Rahman Al-Ibrahim has stressed the importance of rationalizing water consumption in the Kingdom, pointing out that 10 % of water saved translates into 10 % savings in finance and building resources. Speaking about the loss incurred by the Saudi economy because of water wastage, Al-Ibrahim said: "The role of the GOWD is to deliver desalinated water to areas in the Kingdom where no water resources are available, such as majority of the coastal areas." "We are in the process of finalizing a strategic plan following a survey conducted by the Ministry of Water which covered areas that are badly in need of water supplies," he said.
