Saudi Arabia just brought Rabigh 4 online in the Red Sea, producing about 158.5 million gallons a day and storage tanks of roughly 317 million gallons, meaning the country is building water security the hard way: industrial-scale desalination
Saudi Arabia has switched on Rabigh 4 IWP, a huge desalination plant on the Red Sea coast that can produce about 158.5 million gallons of drinking water every day. The project is designed to strengthen supply to Mecca, Medina, and nearby areas in one of the driest regions on Earth.
That number is hard to picture, but if the plant runs at its listed daily capacity for a full year, it could produce roughly 57.9 billion gallons of potable water. For Saudi Arabia, the message is clear enough.
