Doha, Qatar: The Public Works Authority 'Ashghal' continues to implement the Treated Sewage Effluent Transmission Main and Pumping Station (D-Line) project, which will transfer treated wastewater from the Doha South Sewage Treatment Works in Nuaija area to the Seasonal Storage Lagoons, with the aim of balancing the deficit and surplus of the treated sewage water and achieving its optimal use.

Eng. Abdulrahman Mohammed Al Sulaiti, Head of Treatment Plants Projects and Treated Water Networks Section in the Drainage Networks Projects Department at Ashghal, stated that the project is part of the Authority's efforts to benefit from treated wastewater and encourage efficient and sustainable consumption of water resources, in line with the sustainable development objectives and the Qatar National Environment and Climate Change Strategy, which includes reusing 100% of treated wastewater by 2030.

Eng. Al Sulaiti added that Ashghal pays great attention to reusing treated wastewater as part of its efforts to preserve the environment, noting that this project will pump approximately 22.5 million cubic metres of treated wastewater annually.

For his part, Eng. Walid Al Ghoul, Project Manager at Ashghal's Drainage Networks Projects Department, said that the project will balance the deficit and surplus of treated wastewater (TSE) by storing the surplus during winter months to be reused during the summer when demand for TSE is high to supply feed farms with irrigation water, and thus reducing the use of groundwater.

Eng. Walid Al-Ghoul explained that the D-Line also aims to supply the Ghadeer Feed Farms with irrigation water during the summer and will meet the expected future demands of additional feed farms such as Hassad farms in Al Rakhiya, among others.
