Subterranean Water Projects

The Ministry of Agriculture and Water established several large and self-contained projects to extract subterranean water in order to provide the population of the Kingdom in different areas with good quality water. The largest of these are the water project in the city of Riyadh and the Jeddah water project feeding the city of Jeddah. If the other self-contained water projects covering different towns and villages and Bedouin centers are included, the Kingdom can now boast that pure water is available to every home in all corners of Saudi Arabia. Given the growth in demand over the last three decades this is an outstanding achievement and is indicative of the Government’s total commitment to providing all essential services to every corner of the Kingdom.
