Muscat: Nama Water Services officially launched the Duqm-Haima Strategic Water Supply System, stretching 211 kilometers across Al Wusta. The project features four pumping stations—Duqm, Al Ajaez, Abu Mudhaibi, and Haima—each equipped with advanced mechanical and electrical systems, including emergency diesel generators and magnetic systems to regulate tanker filling and water distribution. Haima Station, the largest, houses a 5,000 m³ ground tank and a 600 m³ overhead tank, alongside an administrative and water laboratory facility.

To complement the strategic pipeline, several renewable-powered desalination projects have been implemented across the governorate. These include the Diaa 1 solar-powered unit in Al Jazar, producing 60 kilowatts; a 30-kilowatt tanker station in Wadi Ronab; and a 42-kilowatt-per-hour plant in Haima. In Wadi Nafi, a reverse osmosis desalination plant now supplies 400 m³/day to surrounding communities.

In Duqm’s Dhahr area, a 38 kW/h desalination facility is now operational, while Mahout’s Hajj area plant has been expanded to 3,300 m³/day by recycling 40% of return water. The Al Jazar plant has also been upgraded, now operating on a hybrid of solar, wind, and electric energy with a capacity of 240 m³/day. The Al Najda plant in Mahout was expanded to produce 500 m³/day of Class A treated water suitable for agricultural use.

Infrastructure enhancements include rehabilitation of six tanker filling stations across Mahout and Duqm to streamline tanker-based distribution.

Additionally, wastewater treatment projects in Mahout and Al Jazar were completed using eco-friendly plant basin technology. These systems are designed to treat 600 m³/day of wastewater through aeration basins, grease separation systems, and reed-planting nurseries, ensuring high-quality reclaimed water that aligns with Nama Water’s top-tier classification.
