Smart systems, sensor timers and AI-powered equipment are being rolled out across public spaces in the Southern Governorate as part of an ongoing push to curb water and electricity consumption at monuments, parks and municipal markets.
The move, led through joint co-ordination between the Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry, the Electricity and Water Affairs Ministry and the Works Ministry, was outlined by Southern Municipality director-general Isa Al Buainain during the Southern Municipal Council meeting yesterday, which reviewed monthly utility costs.
