UAE- RTA makes progress in saving power consumption last year
(MENAFN- Emirates News Agency (WAM)) Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has made a remarkable progress in saving water consumption last year, according to a report published by the RTA marking UAE celebrations of the World Water Day.
Dr. Yousef Mohammed Al Ali, CEO of Public Transport Agency, said: "The report published by the Agency about water consumption in public transport facilities last year amounted to 32 million gallons, recording a drop of about 2.77 million gallons from levels reported in 2013 which were 34.7 million gallons.
"Our efforts succeeded in saving water consumption by 8 percent between 2013 and 2014 despite the rise in the number of employees and growth achieved in the business of the Agency."
He added, that RTA is launching an array of initiatives, strategic plans and effective procedures aimed at conserving water and power consumption, and raising consumption efficiency across all facilities and stations. Most bus depots have stations for recycling and treating water used in washing buses, and recycling ratio of these waters has reached 80 per cent and is expected to hit 90 per cent by the end of 2015 following the launch of Recycling of Public Bus Washing Water Station at Al Qusais Depot.
"The responsibility of conserving water consumption rests on all community members as water is the backbone of life, and we have got to conserve its consumption; a practice also exhorted by our lofty religious values," continued Al Ali.
