Its establishment cost around S.R.129 million.[1] The total area for the project is around 400 thousand square meters, whereas the lake's area is around 210 thousand square meters, which is 52% bigger than the project's total area. The lake was established by Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones, Modon, in Industrial Area 2 in Al-Dammam.[2]
