The problem
A regulated sector running on guesswork.
Saudi wastewater operators run inspections quarterly, face million-SAR fines, and have no industry-wide visibility on how their plant compares with peers. Today's stack: spreadsheets, PDFs of regulations, and tribal knowledge.
01 · Operators
Inspections are quarterly. Fines hit millions.
Every operating plant is subject to MEWA + NCEC inspections under the M/165 penalty schedule. A single violation can be capped at multi-million SAR. Most plants find out at the audit, not before.
M/165 fines up to 5M SAR / violation
02 · Sector
No KSA-native benchmark.
Plants run on international benchmarks that don't account for arid-climate constraints, KSA reuse targets, or the regulator stack actually applied in the Kingdom. Operators compare against the wrong norms.
Zero plant-level KSA peer benchmarks
03 · Vision 2030
70% reuse target — and no way to track it.
The National Water Strategy targets 70% wastewater reuse by 2030. Without verified per-plant performance data, the route from today to that target can't be designed, monitored, or claimed.
Target 70% · current ~60% reuse
