Mission
Sustainable water management
NEOM is building a sustainable water management system that aims to eliminate waste and prevent pollution by delivering circular and sustainable services that enhances the environment and livability for future communities.
About
Circular and sustainable
NEOM, through its energy and water company ENOWA, is building an advanced water utility to serve future communities. AI-enabled smart networks will achieve new global benchmark network losses, aligning with NEOM’s sustainability goals and preserving our most precious commodity.
Sustainable Circularity
Improve resilience and rejuvenate ecological systems
We aim to achieve sustainable circularity and water positivity through renewable-powered selective desalination, which both optimizes the production of drinking water, while delivering value for downstream brine-related industries with low-carbon footprint.
Water Positivity
Recycled wastewater
NEOM aims to recycle wastewater in NEOM for beneficial reuse in construction and irrigation. Our advanced water recycling technologies will also recover biosolids for agricultural use.
Water Infrastructure
Smart and connected
NEOM's transmission and distribution pipeline will connect customers to water treatment and resource recovery facilities through a fully digital Internet of Water (IoW) infrastructure designed to achieve benchmark network losses.

Addressing Global Challenges
Water Scarcity
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region faces severe water stress, with 12 of the 17 most water-stressed countries. As populations grow and climate change worsens, global water demand will rise, intensifying challenges to provide safe drinking water in already scarce areas.

Addressing Global Challenges
Pollution from untreated wastewater
80 percent of wastewater globally – most of which is untreated – is discharged into the environment, polluting fragile ecosystems and contaminating increasingly-scarce water supply sources.
