المملكة: Specialized for “Today”: Paths are silently sneaking into groundwater .. Societal awareness is the first line of defense


At a time when the resources decrease and the environmental challenges are accelerated, Groundwater is one of the most valuable wealth that is not seen, but it moves the wheel of life silently. "The buried grace" Under the surface of the earth, it is still unknown to many, but it occupies the top priority of environmental sustainability in the Kingdom, which leads systematic efforts to preserve it and ensure its continuity for future generations. In addition to the treatment mechanisms and international practices that the Kingdom mimics, in addition to its view of societal awareness as the “true shield” of this wealth. Surface
"Dr.
and what distinguishes it is that it is very slowly, as it depends on the feeding of the Earth’s layers via The rain and torrents for many years, for this reason, if contaminated or bleed, it is very difficult to compensate or renew. Surface?" target ="_Blank"> Water wells in the Kingdom comes from underground sources, and this water is extracted from deep sedimentary or rock layers, some of which extend to dozens of meters below the surface of the earth. Supplier? It threatens groundwater in the long run, and therefore I have implemented a research project on groundwater pollution due to construction pollutants accredited by the Prince Sultan Center for Studies and Research for 2025 AD

The research summarizes the depletion of the groundwater supplier in the industries, what happens when the groundwater is extracted at a speed that exceeds its ability to renew, and here lies the risk that affects the temporal range The state’s stock of this resource and the effect of irrigation, watering and drinking supplies and the sustainability of the vegetation is in implementation of the vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the year 2030 AD – zero pollutants on the environment for the year 2060 AD and we are in the process of application and results. "American Environmental Protection Agency EPA"And some of the policies developed by the relevant Saudi authorities. It is also required to use ground insulation systems that prevent the leakage of oils or chemicals to the soil, while preventing the withdrawal of groundwater without a clear permit that explains the quantity and purpose. The executing authority is granted a deadline ranging from 15 to 30 days to take corrective action. The processors are also performed in the state’s approved laboratories, using specially designed filters and systems according to the type of pollution, such as the height of chloride or the presence of the PM10 and PM2.5. Do you play a role in polluting groundwater? One of the largest sources of underground water pollution in the world is an improper sewage system. In the Kingdom, each region has different geographical characteristics, so it has been designed for special drainage systems."O’clock" To drain treated water. Failure to adhere to these systems may lead to the leakage of pollutants to the soil, and from there to the groundwater.

What are the most prominent Saudi policies to protect this water? To ensure that water is not contaminated during transportation. Its pace in recent years, and there are joint campaigns between the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, universities, and research centers, aimed at educating farmers, contractors, and ordinary citizens about this sensitive resource. Random may cost them, and costs the country, an irreplaceable fortune, and this is what the Kingdom is striving for it and is taken on the experts like me and my team, so we went to work on this valuable research that we strive to cover the support it needs and the field is open to participate by the relevant authorities and powers.

and what do you say to society at the end of this meeting? Fadba, among them more than 30% groundwater, preserving groundwater is not an option, but it is an imperative to sustain the environment and whoever is on it said ( And we have made everything alive. Our children are future generations.
