Home / UAE & Water
In a country that depends heavily on desalination to supply its population with clean water, it is crucial that businesses and consumers alike take part in helping preserve our precious supply. The quality of life for the UAE’s growing population and the future growth of its economy and infrastructure depends on water.
While resources are limited, the UAE has one of the highest water consumption rates in the world. The water that comes out of your tap has been desalinated, treated and transported to your home. By reducing your water usage, you’ll help to reduce the UAE’s dependence on desalination and its carbon footprint.
In the event of a water crisis, the UAE only has enough water stored to last the country five days.
