Saudi officials have signed an agreement to create the Ras Muhaisin desalination plant, which will serve both the Makkah and Al-Baha regions. The project aims to enhance water supplies and improve quality of life to both regions by increasing access to fresh drinking water. The project costs SAR 2.6 billion, and will hold a capacity of 300,000 cubic metres per day.

According to Dr. Abdulrahman Al Ibrahim, Governor of the Saline Water Conversion Company (SWCC), Saudi Arabia uses approximately 300,000 barrels of oil per day on desalination, as about 70% of the kingdom’s water comes from desalination plants.

The project is in partnership between Saudi’s private sector and Prince Dr. Hussaim Bin Saud, the Empire of Al-Baha region, the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture, and Engineer Abdulrahman Al-Fadhli.
