Dubai has set itself a target of increasing the use of recycled water while reducing the consumption of desalinated water in the next seven years.
An ambitious water reclamation programme, spearheaded by Dubai Municipality for over five decades, has been crucial to the emirate’s efforts to manage its ecological assets. The programme has helped Dubai achieve an impressive water reuse rate of 90 per cent and significantly curb its reliance on desalinated water and groundwater, reported Dubai Media Office.
By 2030, Dubai aims to increase recycled water utilisation to 100 per cent. Dubai Municipality’s water reuse strategy aligns with the goals of the emirate’s Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050.
