Digital system for well violation enforcement
The article discusses the efforts of the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture in regulating well drilling and deepening to ensure the sustainability of water resources. This is achieved through an integrated digital system called "Hafez." The platform employs artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to monitor groundwater and surface water sources, verify drilling equipment licenses, track water consumption, and analyze data to reduce illegal drilling activities. The results from 2025 show that licensing requests increased by 1,300%, water source violations rose by over 900%, while the time to resolve violations was reduced to just one day, with faster response to reports within 12 hours. The initiative focuses on rationalizing water use, especially groundwater, and achieving optimal resource management in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals.
