Arab States Should Better Manage Demand To Address Shortages, Water Officials Say

摘要

Arab states, already struggling with the challenge of scarce water resources, should focus more on demand management as one strategy for addressing their supply needs, the head of an international desalination trade group said. Water sustainability is "a matter of survival" that will require intergovernmental cooperation, economic incentives, technology-sharing and policy innovation, said Abdullah Abdulaziz Al-AlShaikh, president of the International Desalination Association.
