An agreement signed Water purification plant at Wadi Dayqah
Muscat: Nama Water Services today signed an agreement in partnership with the private sector to construct a water purification plant at Wadi Dayqah Dam in the Wilayat of Qurayyat. The project, coordinated with relevant government bodies, is valued at over OMR 55 million. The agreement was mutually signed by Qais bin Saud Al Zakwani, CEO of Nama Water Services, and Sultan bin Abdullah Al Jafari, Chairman of Al Tayer Engineering Services Company – the project's implementing company. The signing ceremony was attended by His Excellency Dr. Saud bin Hamoud Al Habsi, Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries Wealth and Water Resources. This project aligns with the government's strategic focus on bolstering water security and ensuring a consistent supply of potable water for subscribers. This initiative is designed to guarantee reliable water provision, particularly during periods of unexpected weather conditions and unforeseen emergencies. Moreover, the plant's development is intrinsically connected to supporting agricultural endeavors. By channeling produced water to farms within the Wilayat of Qurayyat, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Wealth, and Water Resources, the project aims to enhance food security. The new water purification plant will be developed under a 20-year public-private partnership (PPP) contract, utilizing a Build, Own, Operate (BOO) model. Construction of the plant and associated infrastructure is slated for completion within 22 months. The facility will boast a total production capacity of 65,000 cubic meters per day, with 35,000 cubic meters per day channeled into Nama Water Services; the main distribution network, supplying potable water. The remaining 30,000 cubic meters per day will be dedicated to agricultural irrigation, distributed through a network serving farms in the Wilayat of Qurayyat, in coordination with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Wealth, and Water Resources. The Wadi Dayqah Dam Water Treatment Plant project will be among the first of its kind in the region and encompasses the construction of the treatment plant itself alongside a seven-kilometer water transmission line connecting the dam to the facility and a corresponding pumping station. A 20,000-cubic-meter collection tank is also being built to receive water from the completed pumping station, which is integrated into the main water transmission line. This line extends from the Wilayat of Qurayyat to other Wilayats within the Muscat Governorate and the broader water transmission network.
