Dubai Municipality (DM) has announced that the emirate plans to recycle all of its wastewater by 2030. This is part of a larger effort to conserve water resources and reduce the city's reliance on desalination plants.
Dubai will also reduce its reliance on desalinated water and the power needed to produce it by 30%. This is part of the emirate's efforts to accelerate its green economy vision. Currently, Dubai reuses 90% of its water, saving more than 2 billion dirhams (US$545 million) annually.

“Dubai’s leadership recognized at an early stage that water conservation is crucial to ensuring sustainable development,” said Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of DM.
“Today, the recycling of water resources has evolved to form a key part of Dubai Municipality’s efforts to realise the leadership’s vision to turn the emirate into a green economy hub.”
