The projected increase in the world’s population will mean a greater demand for water for agriculture, industry, and domestic consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to find innovative solutions that allow us to optimize water management and make more efficient use of our water resources.
Water infrastructures
The Muharraq project is a 100,000 m3/day state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant with a sewer conveyance system in the Muharraq catchment area. The facility’s operation began in 2014, and Almar Water Solutions acquired 35% of this project in 2019.
While water infrastructures are not attacked as much as other utilities, they are vulnerable due to their importance in any region’s economic and social development. The biggest cyber threats in the water sector are software vulnerability, ransomware (information hijacking), and pishing (theft of user access data).
Almar Water Solutions sponsored Investagua, an event that was held from 12th to 23rd April in online format due to the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic.
