The Undersecretary for the Ministry of Electricity and Water, Dr Abdulmajeed Ali Alawadhi, received a delegation from the Economic and Social Commission of West Asia (ESCWA) at his office.
The meeting was part of the delegation’s visit framework to Bahrain to learn more about the country’s water conservation projects. The delegates took part in a two-day workshop on the training needs assessment in the ESCWA region, held from February 10 to 11 at the Arabian Gulf University (AGU).
During the meeting, head of water conservation Abdullah Ali Abdullah briefed the participants about the ministry’s conservation programmes and projects, especially the newly-invented water conservation devices, which the ministry has fixed at mosques, schools and houses. Along with cutting water consumption, the devices can discover water leakage.
Associate Professor at the University of Bahrain, Dr Abdulrahman Buali, also informed the delegates on a recent study on treated water. They were also briefed about the Bahrain Airport Services’ (BAS) project, aiming at using water from the company’s air-conditioning for irrigation purposes.
At the end of the meeting, the delegates praised Bahrain’s water conservation experiences and highlighted the importance of cooperation between ESCWA’s countries to solve water crises.
