Water In The GCC States

Unlike other natural resources, water has great importance as indispensable for human survival, and a strategically vital resource and essential input for most of the various aspects in the development process for nations. In the GCC countries, which are situated in one of the driest region of the world, water management and its sustainable provision to these development activities has grown to be one of the most important and challenging tasks faced by the water authorities. This is due to the limited available natural water resources on one side, and the growing demands and competition from the consuming sectors resulting from unprecedented population and economic growth on the other. Currently, the water challenge in the GCC countries is considered as one of the major and most critical challenges facing these countries, and is expected to grow with time. This is due to the scarcity and rapid depletion of freshwater resources, the heavy financial and economic burden to be borne in the provision of non-conventional water resources (represented mainly in desalination and reuse of treated wastewater), and due to the direct links between water and the accelerating socio-economic development efforts in these countries. Furthermore, the water challenge is compounded by its multiple nexuses with the various development components, such as water and human health, water and environment, water and food, water and energy, and many other interdependencies, which carry within them many cross-cutting issues of social, economic, legal, technical, and political nature.
