WHAT IS FRESH WATER?

Water that we can get after desalination of

sea water in Dubai is not fresh water.

TYPES OF WATER IN UAE

Waste Water; 5%
Desalinated seawater; 24%

Ground Water; 71%

Three major cities that spend water are Abu Dh

abi and Sharjah that uses fresh ground water and
Dubai using seawater.

WATER DESALINATION PLANT

Seawater is mostly used in Dubai. Basicall
y, desalinating is a process of removing salt fr
om seawater.
Desalination plant in Dubai was made in Ko
rea (DHI)

WATER DESALINATION PLANTPROCESS

Desalinating seems very simple, but it actu
ally takes lots of energy to do it in factories.

MAP

WATER DESALINATIONAMOUNT
Have you ever wondered how much water
people use in UAE altogether?
In UAE consumes 550 liters of water per pe
rson per day, two to three times the world av
erage of 180-200 liters. Producing nine millio
ncubicmeters of water daily at $18 million a
day which is amazing and wasting such water
550liter = 1100 small
500mililiter bottles!

CONCLUSION
This is how fresh water is made in Dubai.
I cant imagine how UAE is wasting so much wa
ter! 550 liters per day!!!!!!!
I am very proud that desalination plant in
Dubai was made by a Korean company, Doosa
n Heavy Industries!
