This track provides exploration of Saudi Arabia’s water transmission and storage sector, emphasizing the current state of infrastructure, emerging challenges, and opportunities for innovation and investment. With the nation facing growing water scarcity driven by its arid climate and rising demand, ensuring a resilient and efficient water supply has become a national priority.

It outlines major challenges such as aging infrastructure, water loss, and declining water quality, underlining the need for system modernization. Specific technical issues like corrosion, scaling, and biofilm formation are also addressed, as these can seriously impact water safety and operational efficiency—requiring immediate attention to ensure long-term system sustainability.

The track identifies significant technology, including the need for improved leak detection, in-pipe water quality monitoring, and corrosion prevention. It also explores opportunities for enhancing infrastructure through advanced technologies that enable real-time monitoring, automated control, and greater efficiency in water transmission and storage.

Innovation is highlighted as a critical element in addressing Saudi Arabia’s unique water challenges. Smart leak detection systems, modular storage solutions, and other advanced technologies are already proving valuable in reducing waste and improving water distribution.

Furthermore, this track shows how the Kingdom is aligning its water systems with broader national goals, such as reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainable construction practices.
