The objective of the project was to increase water production to meet the actual demand required for Al-Mukalla. Water was conveyed to Al-Mukalla from the existing Wadi Buwaysh wells producing 40 l/sec and the new An-Naga’ah wellfi eld which adds 138 l/ sec.
The project comprised the development of a new wellfield at An-Naga’ah by drilling twelve boreholes equipped with wellscreens and borehole electrosubmersible pumps. Water was conveyed through a 400 mm pipeline to a 400 m3 collection tank. At Wadi Buwaysh additional three boreholes were drilled and developed to replace existing wells. Water from the collection tank at An- Naga’ah was conveyed through a 600 mm pipeline to Al-Sedad by means of a new 800 m3 reservoir at Al Huwayrah. From
Al-Sedad reservoir a 400 mm pipeline was laid around Al-Mukalla to Bagrain and Al-Omal areas. Booster pump stations were built at Wadi Buwaysh. Moreover, two reservoirs were built at Al-Sedad (1,200 m3) and at Al-Omal (2,000 m3).
