ILF Competence in the Field of Water Transmission


First implementation of “closed hydraulic system” design(Riyadh WTS, Line A & B, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 1977 – 1982)

11,000+ km accumulated length of implemented systems

2 Mio. m³/d – world’s largest water transmission system (Common Sea Water Supply Project, Iraq, 2014 – ongoing)

950+ km – one of world’s longest water transmission systems(Shuqaiq Phase 2 WTS, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 2005 – 2007)

4,600 m max. differences in elevation of single system

(Collahuasi WTS, Chile, 2011 – 2012)


Why Water Transmission Systems?


Water is often not located where it is required Pipelines are ideal for transporting large quantities of water

What is transported water used for?

Domestic (requires potable water) Agriculture (mainly irrigation) Industry‒ Power production‒ Mining‒ Oil & Gas‒ Manufacturing

Demographic Development

Increase & Changes in Global Food Demand

Global Warming = More Irrigation in Certain Regions(e.g. California)

Protection of Domestic Agricultural Sectors = even in Certain Water Stressed Countries (e.g. Saudi Arabia)

Significant Decrease of Aquifers

Financing from Governments, Multilateral Banks

Main Drivers for Mining

Industry – Mining

90% of World’s Mines are in Desert Areas

Restrictions on Local Fresh Water Uselower quality water is transported from outside

Conflict Mitigation between Water Usesdomestic & agriculture versus industry & mining in particular

Typically Sufficent Sources of Finance for Mining Industry

Conclusions

Demographic Development significantly increases Water Demand

Water Stress & Urbanisation are the most important Drivers for Domestic & AgriculturalNeeds

Implementation of Water Transmission Systems dependent on GDP & International Financing Options (Middle East, China, India, Mexico …)

Mining Industry needs more water and is forced to build Water Transmission Systems toavoid conflicts with other uses

The Oil & Gas Industry currently shows little interest for Water Transmission Systems, but this might change with increase of oil price over time
