Al-Fadli: Saudi water investments over 60 billion riyals
Saudi Minister of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, Abdulrahman Al-Fadli, confirmed that the Kingdom's National Water Strategy has focused on strengthening private sector participation through the privatization of water production, treatment, transportation, and storage activities, with the goal of enhancing efficiency and increasing investments that have exceeded 60 billion riyals. Additionally, the sector's performance has been improved by reducing the consumption of non-renewable groundwater from around 21 billion cubic meters in 2016 to approximately 11 billion cubic meters by 2025, and by increasing the production capacity of desalinated water to 16 million cubic meters per day, ensuring that 100% of the population has access to safe drinking water. This reflects the sector's shift toward balancing supply and demand while achieving financial and environmental sustainability.
