Of the 22 Arab League nations including the UAE, eight have the lowest water availability per capita in the world though the UAE is one of the highest water consuming countries.
Today, on World Water Day, Dr Unnikrishnan Karumathil, Data Manager and Geophysicist, RAK Gas, quoting figures from the Federal Electricity and Water Authority (Fewa), explained that an average UAE resident uses 550 litres of water against the international average of 170-300 litres of water per day.
"This must be understood in the context of how potable water is produced in the UAE. Desalination is the major source of potable water in the UAE. Dubai alone uses 98.8 percent of the water from desalination. Only 1.2 percent comes from ground water."
