Abu Dhabi Water Quality for Hydroponics
Abu Dhabi tap water (AADC — Abu Dhabi Distribution Company) has pH 7.5–8.5 and EC 0.5–1.2 — similar to Dubai DEWA water. Both rely primarily on desalinated seawater from UAE’s Arabian Gulf coast. Abu Dhabi tap water may have slightly different mineral profiles compared to Dubai depending on source and treatment, but for practical hydroponic purposes, both require the same management: pH Down to lower from 7.5–8.5 to 5.8–6.2, and accounting for the 0.5–1.0 baseline EC before adding nutrients.
