in contrast to the fact that the middle east has the largest oil reserves in the world, this region has the lowest amount of drinking water available for domestic consumption and industrial and agricultural activities.

this region has 5% of the world population, but only 1% of the water reserves in the planet, being the lowest rate of supply of water per person in the world. the current quota of water consumption by the inhabitants is approximately 1500m³ and the temptation is worsening in this scenario. according to data from the world bank in 2025, this rate should fall to 700m³.

seawater desalination technologies may be the outlet for the problem of nations in that region, but they are still very expensive.
