Abu Dhabi is planning to implement strategic water reserves, the Secretary General of the Environment Agency Majid Al Mansouri told delegates at the MEED Abu Dhabi Conference. By 2020 the emirate plans to have set up two strategic reserves; one for the Eastern region and one for the Western region. Each will hold enough water to keep these going for three months. In addition, all water pipes will be underground, eliminating 60% of waste from evaporation.
