Bahrain-based industrial conglomerate Nass Group, along with its consortium partners, has delivered a major new water supply and distribution system for Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa).

The supervisory control and data acquisition system at National Water Control Centre in Doha, was inaugurated yesterday by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Energy and Industry and Qatar Petroleum chairman and managing director Abdullah bin Hamad Al Attiyah, Minister of Municipality and Urban Planning Shaikh Abdulrahman bin Khalifa Al Thani, Minister of State for Energy and Industry Affairs Dr Mohammed bin Saleh Al Sada and Kahramaa acting managing director Essa Al Kuwari, in the presence of Nass Group managing director Sameer Nass and other officials.

The system enables Kahramaa to supervise and control its water network on a real time basis, and is the first of its kind in the GCC.
