In this context, Ezdan Real Estate Acting General Manager Omar Al Yafey said: "the specialized team has spared no efforts to implement this project during the previous period, and was able to accomplish the task with great success. Now, we have already started to witness positive results, showing that between 40% and 60% of water has been conserved, and in some cases, even higher." Al Yafey confirmed that all Groups new projects are equipped with the latest water rationalization technologies, mainly Ezdan Oasis. The project will include more than 9,000 units, noting that its first phase will be operational by the beginning of next years Q1. Commenting on the achievement, Group COO Dr. Mousa Al Awwad said that "Our strategy in supporting the rationalization program stems from the vision of the State of Qatar that pays an exponential interest in matters of environment, health and education. This vision inspired us to devote our efforts to preserve natural resources, in order to make our experience a successful example in this field." Dr. Al Awwad continued: "Ezdan Holding Group has been a pioneer in partnering with Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA) through a memorandum of understanding, which thank to Allah Almighty, we were able to implement a large portion of its provisions". He added that the group plans to convert the Groups compounds in Doha, its hotels and malls into fully water saving facilities in the short term. We are proud to abide by the national vision of development and the preservation of the state's resources for a more prosperous future for our children." (QNA)
