While the electrical load index continues its gradual rise, approaching the 16,000 megawatt mark, the Ministry of Electricity and Water announced that the water consumption rate has exceeded half a billion gallons.
Informed sources attributed the reason for the high rate of water consumption to the high temperature, indicating that despite the high consumption rate of about 505 million gallons, the production rate exceeded it by 8 million gallons, reports Al-Rai daily.
However, MEW sources said consumers are requested to reduce electrical loads at peak times and not to use devices with high voltage.
