It also <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mewa.gov.sa\/en\/Ministry\/Agencies\/TheWaterAgency\/Topics\/Pages\/Strategy.aspx\" style=\"\">shifted<\/a> from simply expanding desalination capacity toward a focus on reducing water losses and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nwc.com.sa\/EN\/MediaCenter\/News\/pages\/22hajj-2025-madinah.aspx\" style=\"\">improving<\/a> network efficiency through smart infrastructure and digital monitoring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>That\u2019s great, but is it enough?<\/strong> \u201cSaudi Arabia has become one of the largest markets for water desalination and water distribution projects in the world,\u201d Alexander Sarac, partner for infrastructure projects and energy at Addleshaw Goddard, tells EnterpriseAM. The build-out is less a defensive water-security play and more of a precondition for growth, as Vision 2030 \u201ccannot be achieved without a significant increase in water desalination capacity spread across the country,\u201d Goddard adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Demand has been climbing fast since 2015<\/strong> on the back of new housing, tourism, real estate, and agricultural projects, as well as industrial cooling loads, MENA Economist Hamzeh Al Gaood tells EnterpriseAM. Add in Vision 2030's mandate to cut reliance on non-renewable water sources and push treated wastewater reuse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Then came the geopolitics.<\/strong> The Iran conflict has \u201csignificantly heightened the urgency around water security,\u201d Al Gaood says. Mega-plants are central to GCC water supply but are \u201chighly exposed targets.\u201d If hit or taken offline, the disruption would be widespread, \u201cgiven the region's heavy reliance on desalination to sustain urban growth and economic activity,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BUT- Can we plan everything around war?<\/strong> Critical infrastructure does become a target when conflicts escalate, but \u201ca country such as Saudi Arabia cannot plan its infrastructure purely for war times. It must be able to plan for \u2018normal\u2019 periods while planning for backup solutions and contingencies,\u201d Sarac says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Enter the decentralization thesis<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The pitch for smaller, localized systems is to spread <\/strong><strong>production across multiple sites<\/strong>, reduce single-point-of-failure exposure, and score some environmental points along the way. Large desalination plants raise salinity in surrounding waters, which decentralized systems can ease, Al Gaood notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The economics, though, aren't quite there yet.<\/strong> Smaller localized systems are \u201cmore expensive\u201d today, Sarac says, and make commercial sense mainly in remote areas where transmission is costly, or where they're built for a specific offtaker. \u201cDecentralized solutions can be part of the mix; it is not an either-or.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Energy is the binding constraint.<\/strong> Desalination is power-hungry, which is exactly why the industry has historically clustered into large plants with reliable grid access, Al Gaood notes. For decentralized systems to scale economically, the underlying technology\u2019s energy efficiency has to improve. That ties into the Kingdom\u2019s broader grid build-out, already being stretched by emerging loads like AI data centers, which will need to absorb a more geographically dispersed pattern of water-related demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For new cities, industrial zones, and green urban projects, the end user \u201conly needs <\/strong><strong>water<\/strong>,\u201d Sarac argues. Cost and availability tend to weigh more heavily than technology type, but whether this will change following the conflict remains to be seen, he adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The technology side is where the investment story sharpens.<\/strong> Mohamed Askar, Middle East and Africa sales director at Veolia Water Technologies, points to advanced reverse osmosis (RO) as a near-term enabler. But even advanced RO systems \u201crely on remote monitoring and control for predictive maintenance and performance assurance.\u201d That means distributed plants still need stable energy, specialized maintenance, digital infrastructure, and steady access to membranes and spare parts to run, Askar says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Sarac is blunter: <\/strong>\u201cIt is just not feasible to move from large scale to decentralized overnight. Building isolated systems for specific regions requires a different planning approach and will come at a cost,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Beyond desalination, the Kingdom is also widening its water-source mix<\/strong>, tapping underground reserves, exploring water access further north including from Syria and Iraq, and investing in less energy-intensive desalination technology, Al Gaood says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While localized water systems offer wartime security, their steep economic costs and energy requirements complicate their implementation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":109070,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2547],"tags":[589,10,66],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-109069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-infrastructure","tag-desalination","tag-enterpriseam-ksa","tag-infrastructure","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"3f3c1985-a18a-4441-979f-19cc451f11e8","order":"5","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/5\/983.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"Decentralized water economics","related_issue":[109061],"teaser":"While localized water systems offer wartime security, their steep economic costs and energy requirements complicate their implementation"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
