Annual water consumption increases by 8%

Doha: During the past years, Kahramaa has met the increasing demand for water in Qatar, despite an annual increase in water consumption amounting to an approximate 8% in the past twenty years. 

This came in a statement issued by Kahramaa on World Water Day, which falls on March 22. The highest consumption rate in 2020 equaled 438 million gallons per day, while the production capacity reached 476 million gallons per day. It is estimated that the total production capacity will reach 536 million gallons per day in the second quarter of 2021 (an increase of 13% over 2020), ensuring that future demands over water will be safely met up until 2025.
