Applied, decision-grade research advancing water security, climate resilience, and environmental protection from analysis to implementation.
CEWS delivers applied research and translational projects that support industry, government, and communities in planning, evaluating, and implementing practical solutions for water resource management, pollution control, and climate adaptation across Saudi Arabia and the Eastern Province.
Through close collaboration with industrial partners, government agencies, and public-sector organizations, the Center produces studies, technical reports, and pilot concepts that directly inform operational strategies, infrastructure planning, and environmental policy design.
CEWS welcomes collaboration with industry partners, policymakers, researchers, and students who are interested in addressing applied environmental and water challenges through rigorous, solution-oriented research.
What We Do
CEWS brings together an interdisciplinary team of faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and affiliated experts to conduct applied research at the interface of engineering, environmental science, and data analytics.
