The government of the State of Qatar via the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation
(KAHRAMAA) intends to carry out a comprehensive rehabilitation and maintenance
project for eleven (11) well fields with a total number of thirty eight (38) wells
to meet the need of potable water in case of emergency situation, as well as to provide
an alternative water resource to sea water desalination. The depth of the wells in
project area is range between 17 - 60 meters and TDS range between 1000 to 6000
mg/l.
Qatar is known for its scarcity of renewable water resources and its limited fresh
ground water resources. The main aquifer system in Qatar is composed mainly of
limestone and dolomite & is separated by an aquitard or/and aquiclude or both which
have eventually reduced well productivity and effected to a large degree the water
quality.
Kahramaa awarded Dornier as the lead consultant for the project. KN International
