Riyadh Gov. Prince Khaled bin Bandar is launching projects costing SR 1.6 billion in April to add 200,000 cubic meters of water per day for Riyadh. This follows the implementation of projects to support water resources in Riyadh within six months by National Water Company (NWC).
Prince Khaled will formally inaugurate the projects on April 6, in presence of Riyadh Province Deputy Gov. Prince Turki bin Abdullah, Abdullah Al-Hussayen, minister of water and electricity and chairman of the NWC, and members of the company’s board of directors.
Spokesman of NWC announced that the urgent projects aim at improving water sources and filling the gap in water volumes allocated for the city. NWC will drill 43 wells, and build 27 water desalination plants, in addition to tanks and pumps, at different locations in Riyadh.
The company announced that it has reduced implementation period from 18 months (the time required for the implementation of similar projects) to only six months. NWC started implementation in October 2012.
