Even in the harshest environments, nature finds a way; nourishing
inhabitants with a precious life-giving resource - WATER. But its presence
is limited, and impacted by unsustainable practices.
Water covers 70% of our planet yet only 3% of that is fresh water with
two-thirds tucked away in frozen glaciers or otherwise inaccessible. This
leaves just 1% for all life forms to live on.1
And when it comes to dry climates like in the United Arab Emirates,
water scarcity is an even more acute issue.

Water Desalination Plant in Dubai
Living in the desert: alarming facts about water
> The UAE per capita water consumption is double the world average; at a
staggering 364 liters per day.1
> 98% of our potable water comes from desalination making the UAE the
world’s second largest producer. The desalination process is extremely
energy intensive and has negative impacts on our marine environment.2
> Climate change puts further pressure on our already scarce water
resources.
> The UAE has only 3 days of fresh water reserves.3
