The Secretary of the Capital, Dr. Hamoud Obbad, inaugurated a solar energy system project for the Al-Balili water well in Al-Wahda District. Funded by the government at a cost of 50 million riyals, the project is expected to provide significant water and energy benefits to the local community.
During the opening ceremony, Dr. Obbad and the Director of the Al-Wahda District, Sami Hamid, were briefed by Engineer Muhammad Mada’is, Director of the Local Water and Sanitation Corporation, on the project’s features.
