Heba Press – follow-up
The Supreme Accounts Council has published its annual report, which includes a set of points that Hiba Press will cover in detail in subsequent articles.
Among the points included in the report are wastewater treatment projects, where 87 projects will be carried out in various regions of the Kingdom to reprocess wastewater for reuse and watering green spaces.
The report explains that the objectives set out in the National Program for Combined Liquid Disinfection and Reuse of Treated Wastewater differ from those set out in the Draft National Water Plan 2020-2050, because this project’s estimates of quantities which can be reused by the year 2050 are approximately 340 million cubic meters compared to 573 million cubic meters included in the program by 2040.
These quantities were calculated taking into account technical and legal constraints, and the high costs of reusing treated wastewater in certain cases compared to the costs of mobilizing other water resources.
The quantities that should be reused as part of the National Water Plan 2020-2050 project represent approximately 30% of the total wastewater at the national level.
