Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has announced significant progress on its AED 290-million reservoir in Hassyan, which is now 82% complete.
The 120-million-gallon facility is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2025 and is part of DEWA’s broader strategy to ensure sustainable and reliable water supplies for Dubai’s growing needs.
HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, emphasized the project’s importance, stating,
“The Hassyan reservoir, alongside recently commissioned facilities in Al Lusaily, Enkhali, and Hatta, will enhance water network efficiency, increase reserves, and meet the escalating demand driven by Dubai’s economic and social development.”
He also highlighted that upon completion, Dubai’s water storage capacity will rise to an impressive 1.121 billion gallons of desalinated water.
Abdullah Obaidullah, Executive Vice President of Water and Civil at DEWA, confirmed that the reservoir is being constructed to the highest international standards. He noted that the project enhances the reliability of Dubai’s water infrastructure and ensures the flexibility required to meet increasing demand.
The Hassyan reservoir underscores DEWA’s commitment to advancing Dubai’s integrated electricity and water infrastructure to support the emirate’s ambitious development goals.
