It said the Hassyan seawater reverse-osmosis plant has a planned production capacity of 180 million imperial gallons a day. DEWA also reported that water transmission and distribution losses declined from 42.5% in 1989 to 4.4% in 2025. It aims to produce all its desalinated water using a combination of clean energy and waste heat by 2030. ## Data ### Desalination and losses Capacity, observation and target figures published by DEWA. Methodology: Source-stated periods and target status are retained. The 180-million-imperial-gallon/day source figure is converted to 0.8182962 million m3/day using 4.54609 litres per imperial gallon. | label | value | unit | period | basis | value_qualifier | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Hassyan production plan | 0.8182962 | million m3/day | 2030 | target | exact | | Water losses, baseline year | 42.5 | % | 1989 | observed | | | Water network losses | 4.4 | % | 2025 | observed | exact | | Clean-energy desalinated-water target | 100 | % | 2030 | target | exact | Sources: · Download data: [JSON](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/dewa-water-security-desalination-targets-2026/data/desalination-and-network?lang=en&format=json) · [CSV](https://newsverum.com/api/v1/articles/dewa-water-security-desalination-targets-2026/data/desalination-and-network?lang=en&format=csv) ## Sources - [Dubai Electricity and Water Authority]() (Source checked: 2026-10-20; Published: 2026-10-20) --- Cite the canonical URL above.
