Abstract |
: |
Energy and water are intricately connected since electricity requires water in their production processes. Energy is required to make water resources available for human use and consumption through pumping, transportation, treatment, and desalination. However, there is a dynamic change in water and electricity policies in Saudi Arabia and these changes are reflected in water and electricity strategy in Saudi Vision 2030 that was considered to predict the future consumption and production of the water and electricity. The study identified relative efficiency for the five main regions in Saudi Arabia (North, South, East, West and the Center) in water consumption considering region population and water consumption as inputs and number of subscribers per year in Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture as an output. In addition, future consumption and production of water and electricity were predicted considering strategy in Saudi Vision 2030. General Authority of Statistics in Saudi Arabia was the source to collect relevant data. These data were analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to identify the relative efficiency for the five main regions in Saudi Arabia. In addition, water production from all plants and its consumption for the period from 2012 to 2016 were analyzed using regression model in order to anticipate the future value in 2019. Similarly, electricity consumption and production were treated to forecast the future value in 2019. Finally, Strategy related to water and electricity in Saudi Vision 2030 was considered in order to predict the future considering the present time events and their potential interaction. It is found that center and south areas are efficient in water consumption. In the future, water consumption and production in Saudi Arabia will be increased considerable same as electricity. However, Saudi vision 2030 supports water and electricity sectors and contains number of strategic objectives and indicators to measure results. Programs related to water and electricity will be launched in accordance with the requirements required to achieve Saudi vision 2030. |
