Oman’s state-owned Nama Water Services (NWS) has unveiled an estimated OMR11 billion ($29 billion) capital expenditure plan to meet the country’s rising water demand up to 2050.

The investment aligns with the country’s Vision 2040 strategy and aims to support a population projected to double to 9 million over the next 25 years, the Oman Daily Observer reported, quoting a presentation by Abdulhakeem Al Dhuhli, master planning and strategic investments manager at NWS.

Under its 2025-2027 capex plan, the subsidiary of Nama Group has allocated OMR666 million, including OMR453 million for water projects and OMR213 million for wastewater infrastructure.

The investment includes more than 225 projects, comprising 113 water supply projects and 112 focused on wastewater treatment and network expansion.

The three-year plan will also add more than 8,000km of pipeline network, construct 202 reservoirs with a combined capacity of 1.8 million cubic metres and build 90 pumping stations, the report said.

In addition, the wastewater programme includes the construction of 28 sewage treatment plants and the addition of over 1,500km of network lines.

Water coverage is predicted to rise from 73 percent to 96 percent, while wastewater coverage is forecast to increase from 29 percent to 75 percent by 2040.

  • Oman signs food security deals with farmers
  • Funding model for water tech ‘holds back Gulf innovators’

The strategy also includes the option to develop projects through public-private partnerships, the report said, without giving details.

In January Oman estimated a budget deficit of OMR620 million for 2025, with spending likely to reach OMR11.8 billion, a 1.5 percent increase year on year.

Nearly OMR5 billion, or 42 percent of public spending, has been earmarked for social and basic sectors, with 39 percent allocated for education, 28 percent for social security and 24 percent for healthcare.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s Bold Plan to Stay Quantum-Secure and Simple!

Buterin unveils Ethereum’s strategy to tackle quantum security challenges ahead. Ethereum focuses on simplifying architecture while boosting security for users. Ethereum’s market stability grows as Buterin’s roadmap gains investor confidence. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has unveiled his long-term vision for the blockchain, focusing on making Ethereum quantum-secure while maintaining its simplicity for users. Buterin presented his roadmap at the Japanese Developer Conference, and splits the future of Ethereum into three phases: short-term, mid-term, and long-term. Buterin’s most ambitious goal for Ethereum is to safeguard the blockchain against the threats posed by quantum computing.  The danger of such future developments is that the future may call into question the cryptographic security of most blockchain systems, and Ethereum will be able to remain ahead thanks to more sophisticated mathematical techniques to ensure the safety and integrity of its protocols. Buterin is committed to ensuring that Ethereum evolves in a way that not only meets today’s security challenges but also prepares for the unknowns of tomorrow.

An important aspect of this vision is to remove unnecessary complexity and make Ethereum more accessible and maintainable without losing its strong security capabilities. Security and simplicity form the core of Buterin’s strategy, as they guarantee that the users of Ethereum experience both security and smooth processes. Focus on Speed and Efficiency in the Short-Term In the short term, Buterin aims to enhance Ethereum’s transaction efficiency, a crucial step toward improving scalability and reducing transaction costs. These advantages are attributed to the fact that, within the mid-term, Ethereum is planning to enhance the speed of transactions in layer-2 networks. According to Butterin, this is part of Ethereum’s expansion, particularly because there is still more need to use blockchain technology to date. The other important aspect of Ethereum’s development is the layer-2 solutions. Buterin supports an approach in which the layer-2 networks are dependent on layer-1 to perform some essential tasks like data security, proof, and censorship resistance. This will enable the layer-2 systems of Ethereum to be concerned with verifying and sequencing transactions, which will improve the overall speed and efficiency of the network. Ethereum’s Market Stability Reflects Confidence in Long-Term Strategy Ethereum’s market performance has remained solid, with the cryptocurrency holding steady above $4,000. Currently priced at $4,492.15, Ethereum has experienced a slight 0.93% increase over the last 24 hours, while its trading volume surged by 8.72%, reaching $34.14 billion. These figures point to growing investor confidence in Ethereum’s long-term vision. The crypto community remains optimistic about Ethereum’s future, with many predicting the price could rise to $5,500 by mid-October. Buterin’s clear, forward-thinking strategy continues to build trust in Ethereum as one of the most secure and scalable blockchain platforms in the market.
