The document discusses water and electricity challenges in Saudi Arabia and the role of the Saudi Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) in addressing them. SWCC was established in 1974 to support natural water resources through seawater desalination and electric power generation. It is now the largest producer of desalinated water in the world, accounting for 18% of total global production. The Saudi government is committed to expanding desalination capacity to meet growing national demand for water and electricity in a sustainable manner.

Maureen Stapleton, General Manager of the San Diego County Water Authority provided a presentation at the September Rice Club Luncheon. Topics included a general overview of the Water Authority and its major programs and projects, a water supply update and information on water rates.
The Philippinesโ main sources of water are rivers, lakes, river basins, and groundwater reservoirs. The longest and largest river, Cagayan River, discharges approximately 53, 943 million cubic meters of water annually. Its groundwater reserves are 47, 895 million cubic meters replenished by rainfall and seepage from rivers and lakes. The lakes are utilized mainly for fish cultivation. The four major groundwater reservoirs are in Cagayan, Central Luzon, Agusan, and Cotabato. There are 438 major dams and 423 smaller dams.
Although renewable, water is a scarce resource. As the World Bank has
noted, we can contain it, divert it, collect it, purify it, package it, transport
it and transform it, but we cannot โproduce itโ. This simple observation
leads to a complex truth: handling and managing the resource, water,
and its use represents one of the greatest challenges that society faces
today on a global scale

BMW HELDERVIEW - NEW X5 LAUNCH.
Helderview BMW officially launched the new BMW X5 last Thursday evening, 20 February, with a cocktail event at the Dealership.
Jason Greer was the MC for the evening and the select group of guests were entertained by the multiple award-winning South African super group Sterling EQ.
Adding more than a dash of creativity to their passion for food, Red Pepper tempted everybodyโs taste buds. Jaco Uys, a Director of Helderview introduced the New X5 to an appreciative audience.
The X5 did not fail to impress and was definitely the star of the evening. Enough said!

This presentation discusses how floodplains provide important ecological services to people living around the Yamuna River in India and why it is necessary to prtect and restore them in stead of embanking them for agriculture or construction.
Fresh water is scarce โ almost 40 % of the worldโs population suffers from a shortage of it. As 97 % of the water available in the world is salty, desalination is regarded as an important process for safeguarding water supplies for the future. VACON AC drives help convert seawater into fresh water at the Barka 2 plant in the Sultanate of Oman.
this presentation explores hydro power

This conference was presented in the faculty of applied sciences on 03rd March 2023, on occasion of the opening ceremony of a new option entitled "water Desalination" which gives an overview about the saharan groundwater. It describes the salinity of water. Also, an overview about the desalination plants of Algeria. The conference also discusses the different methods used for water desalination. It also presents the issues and drawbacks in the field of water desalination.

The Perspective of the
Saudi Saline Water Conversion Corporation
US - Saudi Business Opportunities Forum, Atlanta - USA
December, 2011
3. The water sector in Saudi Arabia faces the dual challenge of high
water demand and depleting non-renewable water resources
Main Challenges in the Saudi Water Sector
High Demand for Water Depleting Natural Water Resources
High municipal water consumption, More than 60% of the total water consumed
estimated at 250 liters per capita per day (not just municipal) comes from depleting
due to a lack of awareness vis-ร -vis water ancient water aquifers
scarcity issues and limited price signaling
Groundwater abstraction rates are
High rural usage (agriculture accounts for unsustainable, estimated to be 10 times
more than 80% of the total water consumed) higher than yearly replenishment rates
High water demand growth, estimated at The quality of surface and ground water is
2.1% annually for 2010-2014, driven by: deteriorating due to pollution and the
โ Population growth overexploitation of resources
โ Increasing urbanization
โ Industrialization and economic growth

4. SWCC was established in 1974 with a main purpose to support
natural water resources by means of seawater desalination
Overview of SWCC Establishment and Purpose
Late King Abdulaziz ordered the first 2 desalination units with a capacity of 300
1928
m3/day (80,000 gallons) for Jeddah to serve the Pilgrims and Jeddah population.
The present SWCC is established by Royal Decree. Its main purpose of SWCC is to

19. Summary
The Saudi Water Sector is growing, benefiting from the full support of the government
to meet the strategic aims of supply security and reliability, production efficiency and
private sector participation
The water sector presents real opportunities for private sector participation โ Potential
local and international investors can look for a reasonable return, flexible payment
terms, well defined risk allocation, clearly defined responsibilities & obligations of both
parties (stakeholders & the private sector), through a fair and a transparent bidding
process
The Saline Water Conversion Corporation is committed to national and global
collaboration and private sector participation in the desalination sector โ Private sector
local and international participation in the desalination sector benefits the broadest
range of players: investors, financing institutions, operators, EPC contractors,
equipment and materials providers etc.
