The Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) has launched the Afjat Muaither Reservoirs and Pumping Station, bringing the total number of operational main water stations in the country to over 40.
The new facility is part of Kahramaa’s efforts to enhance the reliability of the national water network and keep pace with Qatar’s growing urban and industrial development.
According to the statement, central to the project is a significant increase in water storage capacity, with the addition of two large reservoirs capable of holding a combined total of 36 million gallons.
This expansion is designed to ensure sufficient strategic reserves to meet demand during peak consumption periods and in emergency situations.
The project also strengthens the water supply network and expands its geographical reach through high-efficiency pumping stations equipped with 13 pumps and two main pipelines, each measuring 900 millimeters in diameter. Together, the pipelines have a maximum distribution capacity of up to 71.7 million gallons per day, serving key areas including Birkat Al Awamer, Al Wakra, Hamad Port, and the Qatar Emiri Naval Forces Base.
In addition, the new station will help reduce reliance on the tanker filling system by providing a permanent and stable water supply, thereby limiting the need for temporary solutions.
The Kahramaa Afjat Muaither facility includes an emergency tanker filling station with four filling points, as well as several service buildings, including chlorination and compressor units, a surge absorption tank, and other supporting infrastructure.
According to the statement, the partial operation of the station began in late August 2025, with full operations achieved on November 20, 2025, following the implementation of advanced water quality monitoring systems, automated control mechanisms, and comprehensive safety, alarm, and protection systems.
