MASDAR Water Strategy

Reduce water leakage to 3%

Bundled projects scenarios – Onsite vs Regional

On-Site Scenario:

Study for On-Site Groundwater use

Seawater or Off-Site GW supply w/

on-site desalination

Brine Treatment and Reuse

Local Waste for 3 MW WtE

Regional Scenario : ADDC Water Supply Regional Waste for 10 MW WtE CSP from Small Square

Game Changing Issues:

Green Buildings Hydro Study re GW Volume WtE Demand Geothermal Resource On-site Desalination Greywater Recycling PRT vs Metro Small Square Timing

 Base Projects & Primary Projects

– Dry MRF + In-Vessel Composting

– Biomass burner – construction wood waste

– Waste minimization and AWCS

– Alternative water options-Dew/Fog collector

– Reduce undercroft lighting and ventilation

– Reduce non-resident building electrical load

– Geothermal energy + pumping to demand

– Reduce street lighting load

– Add 1 MW PV ground mount to 10 MW farm

– Eliminate blackwater treatment electrical load

– use biogas from anaerobic digestion

– Reduce water distribution energy load

– Water supply from seawater or groundwater

– RO desalination plant on-site

– Flora/Fauna/Wildlife/People optimization

 Secondary Projects

– Install 3 MW WtE for non-recyclables

– Increase rooftop PV generation + cleaning

– develop recycle market

– Study on-site hyper-saline ground water

– Brine treatment and reuse of products

– Increase CSP electrical/thermal cooling ratio

– Increase electrical distribution efficiency

– Reduce ICT and PRT demand

Use Seawater or Off-Site Ground Water for potable water w/Green Power

Integrated Transport

Masdar City will be the first

land-based city to operate

without fossil fueled vehicles

Walking, electric vehicles,

cycling, PRT and LRT are

the modes of transportation

within Masdar City.

With 40,000 commuters per

day, Masdar City will have

strategically placed parking

areas for fossil-fueled

PRT Trips per day: 135,000

Max Walking Distance to PRT Station:
