This project is in Abu Dhabi. The two new pipelines will ensure that about 70 per cent of the treated waste water is reused for irrigation and landscaping. Scope of works Construction of two pipelines to recycle 265,000 cubic meters of water every day. One pipeline will be built alongside the Abu Dhabi - Dubai E11 highway, and when complete, it will provide 140,000 cubic meters of water a day to sites like the Abu Muraikha Forest, Green Belt and Al Maha Forest. These areas currently require massive volumes of desalinated water. The pipeline is expected to extend for more than 40km. The second pipeline will be located alongside the Al Ain Truck Road for more than 30km, and the aim is to use it to supply 125,000 cubic meters of water to farms in Al Wathba and Al Nahda. These areas rely on groundwater reserves at present. The reuse of treated waste water is an alternative to reduce the Emirate's reliance on rapidly dwindling groundwater reserves and energy-intensive desalination. Tenders will be awarded in February 2017 and the pipelines are expected to be operational by 2018.
