Minister of Water
and Irrigation Mohammad Najjar said that the memorandum will serve the
Kingdom’s water loss reduction strategy and help transfer know how and modern
technology to water companies across the country.
The minister warned
that potable water sources are shrinking year by year, adding that the water
loss reduction strategy aims to cut losses by 25 percent by 2040.
According to the
memorandum, field surveys of 20km-long water lines will be conducted; the
entire cost will be borne by the American company.
Following that, the
Water Authority and Miyahuna will evaluate the technology used, its results,
and its feasibility, for use on a larger scale.
