TRSDC presents global model in water production using renewable energy

Saudi Arabia's Red Sea megaproject is working to achieve water security in its sustainable projects through cutting-edge technology and business practices without harming the environment.

The project, surrounded by salty water from all sides, is hailed as a global model in maximizing and optimizing the benefit of every drop of water. This is being done by overriding the traditional approach in water management and supply enhancement to provide sustainable tourism that preserves the environment through efficient and sustainable water management.

Since the project's inception, The Red Sea Development Co. (TRSDC) has committed to doing everything to achieve its goals by adopting a number of initiatives and projects, company CEO John Pagano stated.

The marine spatial planning is the most important of these projects, which is being carried out in cooperation with the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). It will help capture an accurate image of a large marine area in the destination to identify the project's potential environmental impacts and enhance environmental development and preservation opportunities.

Pagano pointed out that the company signed a contract with a consortium led by ACWA Power to design, build, operate and transfer the infrastructure for the project's services facilities, including the construction of two seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants and an innovative sewage treatment plant (STP) that is expected to allow waste to be managed in a way that enhances the environment by creating new wetland habitats and supplementing irrigation water for the TRSDC landscape nursery.
