Riyadh – Saudi Arabia’s National Water Co. has planted more than 1 million trees across various areas of the Madinah region, as part of the Saudi Green Initiative that aims to plant 10 billion trees, state news agency SPA reported on Monday (22).
By strategically selecting the regions surrounding the wastewater treatment plants, the Saudi company ensures that all the trees are nourished with the treated water generated by these facilities. This approach contributes to Saudi Arabia’s environmental equilibrium and improves overall quality of life in the region.
