The project, funded jointly by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as part of the Gulf Development Programme, is now in its Phase 4 development. It aims at boosting the performance of the Tubli Wastewater Plant and the production of treated water for irrigation and agriculture.

The Saudi Fund for Development is funding the project, the minister said. The minister also said that the Government of Bahrain would fund the operation and maintenance of the old and new plant for ten years.
The Works Ministry Undersecretary, Ahmed Abdulaziz AlKhayyat, and Assistant Undersecretary for Sanitation, Ibrahim Hassan Al-Hawaj, were present during the visit.
