WORKSHOP - Sustainable Water Management for Water Security in Qatar
Qatar is one of the most water stressed countries in the world due to their arid climate and limited amount of resource water. The only source of freshwater in Qatar is groundwater which is currently being depleted due to over extraction. The stress levels on water are expected to increase in the future due to population increase, climate change, industrial operations, and agricultural sector growth. Qatar’s population is increasing, reaching nearly 3.0 million in 2023, a significant rise from nearly 2.0 million in 2012.
