Waters for
Tomorrow

Overview

The renewable water resources in the MENA region are among the lowest globally. Most MENA countries face a chronic imbalance between available water supply and increasing water demand. This imbalance is expected to worsen due to rapid population growth, economic development, and climate change unless substantial measures are implemented to augment water supply and manage demand effectively.

Water scarcity in the Middle East is primarily driven by natural factors such as limited rainfall and high temperatures, as well as human activities including the overexploitation of groundwater and inefficient irrigation practices. Groundwater, a critical water source in the region, is being depleted at an alarming rate. Climate change exacerbates the situation by increasing the frequency and severity of droughts. Concerns about dams and their impact on water flow are also prevalent, and many existing desalination plants face technical issues that require maintenance and upgrades, particularly as they approach the end of their operational lifespan. Read more..
