“In the coming years, water sustainability will become as critical an issue as climate change. Only desalination and advanced water reuse offer hope of future supplies for a growing population on our planet,” Salma Hareb said on Monday. She was addressing a press briefing to announce the biannual International Desalination Association, or IDA World Congress this November in Dubai.
The Congress, scheduled for November 7-12, will be hosted by TechnoPark, a unit of Hareb’s Economic Zones World.
“Water sustainability is a global issue, and can only be addressed through exchange of information on an international level,” said Patricia Burke, Secretary General of the International Desalination Association.
“We look forward to the exchange of ideas and collaboration on the critical issue of desalination and advanced water reuse. The industry is constantly evolving and innovating, and our mission is to ensure that desalination is implemented in the most responsible way, from the perspective of cost, energy and environmental considerations,” Burke said.
The Middle East accounts for 60 per cent of the world’s desalinated water use, Burke said. “Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar are among the top 10 desalination countries in the world. The largest desalination plants are located in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. As the second largest producer of desalinated water in the world, the UAE produces more than 8.4 cubic metres per day, or over 13 per cent of the total global desalination capacity,” she said.
