When Was the Riyadh Water Tower Built?

The Riyadh Water Tower was built in Riyadh City, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in 1971. It is referred to as the "Water Tower" or "Water Tank." It is a water tank tower with a conical shape resting on a cylindrical concrete base, with a height of approximately sixty m. The project was overseen by the Ministry of Agriculture and Water (now the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture).

The tower is located in Al-Murabba Neighborhood next to the King Abdulaziz Historical Center. The purpose of its construction was to increase the water pressure in the public water network to meet the region's water consumption needs. Surrounding the tower are public and recreational facilities, along with a lake and several buildings that were established nearby to serve visitors to Al-Watan Park, which is centered around the tower.
