All owners of groundwater wells in Bahrain – individual, private entities or public institutions – have been urged to update their information by June 1 and replace their current water meters with electromagnetic ones by September 1.
The Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry said all owners are now required to use meters equipped with General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology.
These measures have been approved by the local agricultural production department and aim to regulate and protect groundwater sources from depletion.
