Executive overview
Why this report matters
Summary Insight: Muscat’s water-customer model is shifting from passive consumption toward digitally enabled participation in demand management, leak detection, service reporting, and household efficiency. Nama Water Services is combining advanced metering, satellite-based monitoring, predictive analytics, digital customer channels, and network modelling to improve visibility across supply and demand. The strategic challenge is to translate these technologies into trusted, accessible services while protecting customer data and reducing dependence on energy-intensive desalination.
This Our Future Water Intelligence report provides an independent assessment of Muscat’s digital customer journey, smart-metering architecture, demand-management strategy, service design, cybersecurity requirements, and climate-resilience pathway.
