Great DD. Water scarcity 911: UAE's water resources may dry up by 2030
For every drop of water that goes to waste from UAE taps, much is at stake for this generation and the coming ones, such as having no groundwater – at all – to be circulated through taps by 2030.
For years, the UAE has been among countries with the highest per capita water consumption in the world, according to the UN Environment Programme. The UAE placed third in this global ranking in 2013. This means that an average UAE resident consumes about 550 litres of water a day. This is more than three times the world average per capita consumption
According to the report ‘Scarcity and Abundance: UAE Food and Water Security’ published in November 2014, for every litre of water that flows back into the country’s groundwater reserves from infrequent rainfall, 25 litres is withdrawn
