💧 Your essential source for Middle East water innovations, investments, and policies advancing regional water security.
🌍 Water security across the Middle East is entering a transformative era, driven by strategic investments, climate-resilient infrastructure, and smart water technologies. This edition spotlights the accelerating risk of “Day Zero” shortages, Morocco’s bold desalination and floatovoltaics projects, Tunisia’s AI-powered WaterSec platform, and major infrastructure investments across Kuwait and Türkiye, plus a preview of the Saudi Water Partnership Company Forum.
🌐 Key Regional Developments
🔹 Accelerated Risk of “Day Zero” Shortages
New study warns 35% of drought-prone regions could face acute drinking water crises within 15 years. MENA is among the most vulnerable, underscoring urgent need for systemic adaptation and demand management.
🔹 Morocco: Large-Scale Desalination Network
Casablanca-Settat rolling out 30 desalination stations, backed by MAD 400M. A flagship facility will provide 200M m³ annually, covering up to 80% of regional demand.
🔹 Morocco: Floatovoltaics Pilot Near Tangier
400+ floating solar platforms reduce evaporation while generating renewable power. Full expansion across 10 hectares with 22,000 panels will save 1.2M m³ of water and generate 13 MW for the Tangier Med port.
💡 Technology Spotlight: Innovation in Action
🔹 Jordan: Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Facility
First industrial ZLD plant in Zarqa recycles wastewater from soda and chlorine production. Cuts freshwater demand by 25% and saves JD 130,000 annually, setting a model for industrial reuse.
🔹 Tunisia: WaterSec IoT Platform
AI-powered IoT solution provides real-time monitoring, leak alerts, and analytics for households and businesses. Recognized by Davos Forum as one of the world’s top 50 startups in 2024.
💰 Investment Tracker: Major Projects
🇰🇼 Kuwait: Doha SWRO Desalination Plant (Stage 2)
USD 377M contract awarded to Heisco–VA Tech Wabag consortium for advanced RO plant with full O&M services.
🇹🇷 Türkiye: Flood & Drought Management Project
USD 600M World Bank-financed initiative to boost climate resilience via infrastructure upgrades, early warning systems, and institutional capacity building.
