Dubai, UAE: Water security is a national priority for the UAE that federal and local authorities seek to achieve in line with the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036, which aims to ensure sustainable access to water during normal and emergency conditions. The transition to using renewable energy sources to desalinate sea water is a national priority for UAE organisations, and enhances the UAE’s leadership in adopting clean and renewable energy sources.

Comprehensive approach

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), said that Dubai has a comprehensive approach for the sustainability of water resources by increasing water desalination capacity using the latest and most efficient technologies to reduce carbon emissions. He noted that DEWA is building water desalination plants using Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) technology, which is more efficient and requires less
