Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi will be recycling 100 cent per cent of its waste water by next year, a senior official told Gulf News on Monday.
"Now, two-thirds of waste water is recycled in the emirate," said Alan Thomson, Managing Director of Abu Dhabi Sewerage Service Company, a government-owned company dealing with sewerage treatment services.
He spoke to Gulf News on the sidelines of the Middle East Economic Digest's Waste Water Treatment and Reuse Conference 2008 which began in the capital yesterday.
Thomson said there is no plan to improve the standard of waste water recycling to produce potable water. "The present recycling system does not aim for potable water."
A proposed 15 kilometre sewage tunnel linking the Abu Dhabi mainland and island as part of Strategic Tunnel Enhancement Programme (Step) will improve the waste water treatment capacity of the emirate, said the official.
"Abu Dhabi's population is expected to double by 2020 and the amount of waste water will also increase proportionately."
