SWPC is currently holding a two-day workshop in London with potential investors in its planned Independent Strategic Water Reservoir (ISWR) programme. According to a source involved with the programme, the event in London has been well attended with “significant interest” in the planned water storage scheme.

The programme is expected to involve the development of six ISWRs, which will have the capacity to store almost 20 million cubic metres of water.

The following ISWRS are planned to be developed under the project:

  • Moghamma: 8,000,000 cubic metres (cm)
  • Juranah: 2,000,000 cm
  • Al-Jmoom: 2,000,000 cm
  • North Jeddah: 4,000,000 cm
  • South Jeddah: 1,000,000 cm
  • Taif: 2,040,000 cm

MEED reported in August that that SWPC had appointed an advisory team to provide consultancy services for the ISWR programme.

While Saudi Arabia has established a handful of major water reservoirs in recent years, this is the first time that the kingdom is planning to develop one in partnership with the private sector.

The kingdom is also planning to develop water transmission pipelines through a public-private partnership (PPP) model, which will be the first project of this type in the Middle East.
