Is current desalination infra enough to fight Middle East’s water stress? – Middle East The depletion of natural water sources along with reducing ground-water level has pressurised countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to diversify their water resources, while the influx in population leads to a constant surge in the demand for fresh water. The scenario has resulted in the rise of desalination projects across the region. As governments move away from their long-standing reliance on natural water resources, an aggressive development of desalination infrastructure has become inevitable. (LINK).
