The amount of water desalinated daily in Saudi Arabia is equivalent to global oil production, said Saudi Water Authority (SWA) President Abdullah Al-Abdulkarim.

 

He noted that desalinated water’s daily production and transportation totals 15 million cubic meters.

 

In a discussion session during the Local Content Forum, Al-Abdulkarim said there are 14,000 population centers across the Kingdom.

 

Saudi Arabia spent SAR 35 billion on water services in 2023, he added.

 

The president emphasized that large quantities of desalinated water are transported from coastal areas to cities, noting that this complex industry requires efficient distribution and service delivery.
