At RAK Properties, we are committed to water conservation and delivering sustainable value to stakeholders through innovative resource management solutions.
Key water efficiency programs that are currently in place:
Smart Irrigation Systems:
- Landscaping prioritizes native and drought-tolerant plant species.
- Smart irrigation controllers leverage weather data to optimize water use.
- Drip irrigation systems reduce water loss through evaporation and runoff.
Alternative Water Sources:
- Our Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) treats building sewage for reuse in irrigation.
- Treated sewage effluent (TSE) is sourced externally to avoid using potable water for landscaping.
- Untreated sewage is outsourced, treated in-house, and used to meet most of the community’s irrigation needs.
Leak Detection and Prevention:
- Smart flow meters monitor irrigation networks to quickly detect leaks or abnormal water use.
- Preventive maintenance programs ensure plumbing systems remain in optimal condition.
- Smart sub-meters track major exterior and interior water uses.
Water Audits and Retrofitting:
- Regular water audits identify inefficiencies, water quality issues, and opportunities for improvement
- Older fixtures are retrofitted with ultra-efficient, low-flow water fixtures to reduce overall consumption
