RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s National Water Company, through its northwest sector, has planted more than 2.1 million trees in the Madinah region as part of its commitment to the Saudi Green Initiative.
NWC’s efforts also reflects the company’s efforts to expand vegetation cover, combat desertification and enhance environmental sustainability by using tertiary-treated wastewater from its treatment plants, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
NWC says it is uniting all sustainability efforts in the country to rapidly scale up the Kingdom’s climate action.
In 2025, NWC planted more than 472,000 trees, ensuring that the project remains on track with strategic plans to optimize water resources and improve quality of life.
NWC confirmed that more than 200,000 of these trees — roughly 10 percent of the total — have already reached a level of maturity that allows them to thrive independently without further irrigation or specialized care.
