The Sultanate of Oman is advancing innovative and forward-looking solutions to strengthen water security and ensure the long-term sustainability of supplies amid intensifying global water challenges.
In this context, Nama Water Services is implementing a comprehensive water sustainability strategy, with the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project using water injection technology emerging as one of the company’s most strategic initiatives aimed at building a more resilient and adaptive water system.
The project reflects a transformational shift in proactive water management and crisis preparedness, through the establishment of strategic underground water reserves that can be recovered during emergencies and peak demand periods.
The water injection process is based on a sustainable aquifer recharge technology, whereby excess desalinated water produced during periods outside peak demand is injected directly into underground aquifers for storage and later recovery when needed for potable, industrial and agricultural uses, contributing to the efficient management of water resources.
Nama Water Services continues to implement an integrated water sustainability strategy focused on reducing non-revenue water through AI-enabled network modernization and strengthening water resources through international best practices in demand management.
The strategy also includes investing in wastewater treatment and water reuse for industrial and agricultural applications, expanding strategic water infrastructure across the governorates it serves and accelerating digital transformation through advanced geographic information systems to improve operational efficiency.
