Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, represented by the Engineering Affairs Department, launched two pilot projects to recycle ablution water in two mosques in Al Wakrah and Lusail. This project is part of its efforts to promote environmental sustainability and rationalize water consumption.

The first project included the Qanbar Al Ansari Mosque (No. 1209) in Al Wakrah and was implemented in cooperation with the Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa) and Al Wakrah Municipality. The second project included the Al Kaldari Mosque (No. 1368) in Lusail, in cooperation with Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company.

The two projects aim to treat ablution water inside the two mosques and reuse it to irrigate the surrounding green spaces, in addition to using it in flushing boxes in restrooms. This will contribute to reducing freshwater consumption, limiting waste, and increasing the efficiency of water resource use.
