Qatar: Ashghal completes 75% of TSE Seasonal Storage Lagoons Phase 1

Doha: The Public Works Authority (Ashghal) continues the construction works of the Design and Build Project for the TSE Seasonal Storage Lagoons – Phase 1, where around 75% of the project has been completed so far.

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 contributes to maximising the utilisation of renewable water resources, and the optimal use of treated wastewater in line with Qatar National Vision 2030 objectives in the field of environmental sustainability.

Eng Al Sulaiti explained that the project would balance the deficit and surplus of treated wastewater (TSE) by storing the surplus during winter months, to be used in the summer when the demand for treated water is high. Treated water is used in irrigation purposes of green spaces and aesthetic plants in public parks and roads, in addition to supplying feed farms with irrigation water. Treated water can be used in cooling systems and work sites to wash sand used in projects and to control dust.

About project components, Eng Waled Murad Al Ghoul from the Drainage Networks Projects Department at Ashghal noted that the project consists of five reservoirs
