    This document projects water demand in Oman over the period of 2013-2020. It finds that peak water demand is expected to increase at an average annual rate of around 6% for the main supply zones excluding Dhofar, compared to previous projections of 3-5% average growth. This increased demand is due to revised population growth forecasts and ongoing expansion of water networks. Total annual water demand is projected to grow from 238 million cubic meters in 2013 to 349 million cubic meters in 2020, an average increase of 5% per year. To meet this rising demand, additional desalination capacity is required to maintain system security and recovery in the event of network or plant failures.

    Peak water demand for the Interconnected Zone comprises data provided by both PAEW and MISC.

    In overall terms, water peak demand is expected to increase at an average rate of around 6% per year over the
    seven-year horizon. This compares to previous 7-Year Statement forecasts in which average annual growth
    was in the range of 3% to 5%. The changes stem principally from a revised population forecast provided to
    PAEW by the National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI), but are also due to the ongoing rapid buildout of water supply networks and absorption of private networks.
    PAEW is engaged in a large and systematic effort to reduce losses in the transmission and distribution systems.
    However, the drivers for growth are very strong and will outpace the loss reductions, resulting in increased
    overall demand.

    Desalination Capacity Requirement Interconnected Zone


    The water capacity requirement includes a reserve margin in excess of normal demand, to provide the
    additional water capacity necessary to recover the transmission and distribution networks in the event of a
    failure of the networks or a failure of supply from a desalination plant. 6 This represents a system security
    measure that is analogous to the generation security standard used to assess power generation capacity
    requirements. After an emergency, the water volumes in the PAEW reservoirs may be at a low level and will

    This security measure was introduced by PAEW, referenced also as headroom.
