The Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) has completed one of the world’s largest reserve of high-quality desalinated water with storage of more than 5.6 billion gallons.
The $435-million high-tech desalinated water storage can provide sufficient drinking water to one million people for up to 90 days. The water is secured in a network of 315 recovery wells lying up to 80 meters below the Liwa Desert. The wells are fed by one of the UAE’s longest water pipeline networks, which runs the water from Shuweihat desalination plant at a rate of seven million imperial gallons (approx. 32,000 cubic meters) per day.
