Zahid, Director

2 Content Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Chair for Water Research PKC Introduction Water Reuse in Saudi Arabia Quantity Types of Uses Treatment Plants

3 Inauguration of PKC Jan., 2009

4

5 Theme of PKC Water Reclamation & Reuse The Development of Water Reuse Industry & the Innovation of Revolutionized Scientific & Practical Solutions for Efficient & Economic Utilization of Wastewater

6 PKC Vision Achieve National & International Leadership in the Research Realm of Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technologies & Water Reuse so as to Conserve & Develop the Kingdom Water Resources

7 PKC Mission The PKC has a threefold mission: Promote the reuse of wastewater for a wide variety of potential applications that suit our arid environment through education and scientific research on wastewater reuse, and disseminating awareness for the significance of reclaimed water as a strategic water resource. Development and implementation of innovative wastewater reclamation technologies that conform to local environment and resources. Build and maintain a broad and active network of local and international water-reuse researchers and professionals in academia, government, and the private sector.

8 Graduate Studies Research Training and Development PKC Tasks Consultancy and Technical Studies
