$25M deal for Saudi water and desert efforts
We support the Arab Center for the Studies of Arid Areas and Dry Lands (ACSAD) in Saudi Arabia's efforts to manage water resources and combat desertification through an agreement valued at $25 million with the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture. This agreement includes dispatching experts to implement projects focused on water resources and rainwater harvesting techniques. Initiatives encompass projects in areas such as Wadi Al-Lith and Al Jouf, aimed at improving soil moisture and rehabilitating vegetation cover. Despite limited rainfall, these techniques have proven effective. Saudi Arabia has also announced the launch of 142 investment opportunities to develop vegetation cover across all regions, with expected investments exceeding 700 million riyals and contributing approximately 2 billion riyals to the gross domestic product, supporting environmental sustainability and creating around 7,000 jobs.
