The Saudi Irrigation Organization is a government public institution established by royal decree to replace the Al-Ahsa Irrigation and Drainage Authority, which was created in 1392 AH to manage irrigation and drainage in Al-Ahsa. The organization is a legal entity with financial and administrative independence and reports to the Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture. Its mandate covers managing irrigation activity across the Kingdom, including operating and developing irrigation systems, and it consolidates responsibilities from predecessor bodies such as the National Irrigation Administration that previously fell under the Water Agency of the Ministry. This places the organization within Saudi Arabia's government administration framework for water resources. Based in Saudi Arabia, the organization serves the national irrigation program and employs several hundred staff. Information about its activities is accessible through its official website at sio.gov.sa.
