Veolia Paves Way for Treated Wastewater Reuse in Qatar

Veolia Water Technologies Qatar and Katara Project have inaugurated a pioneering facility for the reuse of treated wastewater in Qatar. Thanks to this state-of-the-art plant, Katara Cultural Village will save between 5,000 and 15,000 cubic metres of fresh water per day.

Through its subsidiary, Veolia Water Technologies, one of the global leaders in water technologies, Veolia is revolutionising treated wastewater reuse at Katara Cultural Village, a major cultural and tourist complex in Doha, Qatar. In collaboration with Katara Project, Veolia has set up the country’s first wastewater treatment facility of this scale. A major step forward in addressing local ecological transformation challenges.

With a daily capacity of 15,000 cubic metres, this plant efficiently transforms treated wastewater into high-quality water suitable for irrigating Katara’s green spaces and supplying cooling towers. By substituting fresh water with this treated wastewater, the project drastically reduces water costs and the energy consumption required to produce clean water for irrigating Katara’s green spaces and cooling.

As part of its GreenUp 24-27 strategic programme, Veolia is contributing its expertise to help Qater achieve the objectives of its “Qatar National Vision 2030” strategy by reducing dependence on fresh water through wastewater reuse.

This pioneering achievement by Veolia Water Technologies in Qatar represents a major advance in the sustainable reuse of treated wastewater, preserving fresh water resources and reducing energy consumption.
