Qatar targets 'near zero' water discharge to sea by 2016

Qatar is working on a major pro-environment project aimed at safeguarding the country's marine ecosystem by targeting "near zero" water discharge to sea by 2016.

The initiative is led by the Ministry of Energy and Industry in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment and involving various companies working in the country's energy and industry sector.

A recent report showed that Qatar's long-term plan is to achieve "zero liquid discharge" of processed wastewater by end-2016.

The energy and industry sector is aiming to achieve this primarily through investments in water recycling and reuse, using wastewater treatment plants and using treated wastewater to irrigate green zones as well as re-using water in core operations and production processes.
