Contributing to Qatar's green vision
In places with arid climactic conditions, many would consider water the new oil.
Understanding the importance of sustainable water solutions to hyper-arid Qatar, Keppel Seghers, the environmental engineering arm of Keppel Integrated Engineering, sponsored the publication of a book entitled Water, Agriculture and Environment in Arid Lands (Water and Agricultural Vision for Qatar by 2020).
Commissioned by the Friends of Environment Centre, a non-governmental organisation that looks into environmental management, the book examines the opportunities and challenges of water management for agriculture in Qatar.
Keppel Seghers is currently building the Doha North Sewage Treatment Works (DNSTW) plant, which will be Qatar’s largest wastewater treatment, water reuse and sludge treatment facility.

Speaking at the book release event on 4 January 2010, Mr Vincent Wong, COO (Global Head of Engineering) of Keppel Seghers, said, “The high-quality treated water by DNSTW will be used for agriculture to ease the load on groundwater resources.”
