The Royal Commission for Riyadh City has adopted the protection, rehabilitation, and development of Wadi Hanifa, making it one of its priorities because of the great importance of this area and greater readiness to attract diverse investments, and because this valley with its sprawling and manifold area from north to south of Riyadh can be the lung of Riyadh and a natural outlet for its residents.

This illustration shows the water levels in the developed valley as follows:

• Perpetual flowing water level.
• Seasonal water level.
• Water level during flooding.
