Dubai targets 100% recycled water use by 2030

Dubai has set itself a target of increasing the use of desalinated water and related power consumption by 30 percent in the next seven years, which aligns with the goals of the emirate’s Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050.

“Dubai’s leadership recognised at an early stage that water conservation is key to ensuring sustainable development,” Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, said in an official statement on Sunday.

Al Hajri added that the recycling of water resources has developed to form a key part of Dubai Municipality’s efforts to realise the leadership’s vision to turn the emirate into a green economy hub.
