In view of the Qatar 2030 vision, Qatar has decided to set up a water security project and in view of Qatar 2030 vision, which entails the construction of five potable mega reservoirs sites and interconnecting network of large diameter water pipelines, each reservoirs site will ultimately comprise up to nine reservoirs, each of which will be the largest of their type in the world.

Mega reservoirs and pumping stations will be constructed at five strategic locations along the Qatar National Utility Corridor. The first phase of the project, which is currently under implementation, will deliver storage capacity of about 2,300 million gallons of water in 24 huge concrete reservoirs and some 480km of buried ductile iron pipelines with a diameter up to 1.6m.

The second stage of the project, which will be implemented after 2020, will include construction of additional pipelines and 16 new reservoirs within the 5 mega sites to achieve an ultimate total storage capacity of about 3,800 million gallons of water.
