Saudi Arabia's Gizan region is advancing a strategic water project aimed at effectively alleviating the shortage of local water resources. Recently, Saudi Arabia's National Water Company officially disclosed the progress details of this major project. This infrastructure construction project, which has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, will not only use advanced technology to increase the daily freshwater production capacity by more than 100000 cubic meters, but also bring broad cooperation prospects for water companies worldwide, especially in China, as it is a key component of Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision.

This project covers multiple core areas such as seawater desalination, water pipeline construction, and sewage treatment. Its design highlights include the use of advanced reverse osmosis technology to achieve efficient seawater desalination, the introduction of Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technology to create a smart water management system, and the plan to combine solar power generation to reduce energy consumption, reflecting the concept of sustainable development.

Technology driven and sustainable design

The core of the water project lies in its progressiveness technology and sustainable planning. In terms of seawater desalination, the project will adopt efficient reverse osmosis technology, with a designed daily freshwater production capacity of over 100000 cubic meters, directly addressing the freshwater supply challenges in the Jizan region. At the same time, the project innovatively introduces IoT sensors and artificial intelligence analysis platforms, aiming to build an intelligent water supply management system to optimize resource allocation and reduce operational losses. To achieve green operation, the project planning combines solar power generation facilities to significantly reduce energy consumption in processes such as seawater desalination, which is closely aligned with Saudi Arabia's national strategy of promoting economic diversification and green transformation.

The advantageous areas of Chinese enterprises

This huge investment provides a clear path for Chinese companies with relevant technology and experience to participate. Chinese enterprises have rich experience in general contracting in large-scale infrastructure construction, such as China Electric Power Construction and Gezhouba Group, which can bid for EPC general contracting contracts for projects. In the key equipment supply chain, Chinese made water pumps, advanced membrane technology, and photovoltaic energy storage systems have international competitiveness. In addition, in the field of digital solutions, Chinese technology companies represented by Huawei and Alibaba Cloud have intelligent water management systems that can provide strong support for the intelligent management of projects.

This water project goes beyond general infrastructure construction and has significant strategic importance. It is a concrete practice of improving people's livelihoods, ensuring water resource security, and promoting sustainable economic development in Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision. For Chinese enterprises, successful participation in such landmark projects is not only a demonstration of technology and strength, but also a deepening of practical cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia under the the Belt and Road Initiative, laying a solid foundation for future market development in a broader range of infrastructure and new energy fields. The progress of the project indicates that China and Saudi Arabia are ushering in new opportunities for high-quality joint construction and cooperation. Editor/Yang Beihua
