Saudi Arabia will construct two desalination water plants at SAR 4 billion in investments in Khobar and Jubail, Saudi Press Agency reported, citing the Saudi Minister of Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (MEWA), Abdulrahman bin Abdulmohsen Al-Fadley.

 

Upon the completion of the two stations within 24 months, water production will surge 177 percent in the two regions, while energy consumption rate will reduce more than 80 percent, Al-Fadley said.

 

He further noted that the two plants cope with the ministry’s strategy which is part of Saudi Vision 2030 that aims to improve water’s quality.
