and storage, while contributing to the assurance of long-term water security.

In addition, WTCO plays a key role in developing non-traditional

financing solutions, in partnership with the private sector, to support the

development of water transmission and strategic storage projects.


WTCO operates under a commercially driven model aimed

at enhancing asset efficiency, reducing costs, ensuring service

sustainability, and meeting supply requirements to strengthen

 water security in the Kingdom.


WTCO is also committed to qualifying and developing

national talent, in support of strengthening the Kingdom’s leadership

 in water transmission and storage.
