Arab Nations Top Water Scarcity List
Data released by the World Bank shows that the water crisis is worsening in Middle Eastern and North African countries, with Kuwait ranking as the nation with the least access to renewable freshwater resources. In 2022, Kuwait recorded zero cubic meters per person because of the absence of rivers and lakes, relying entirely on seawater desalination. It is followed by Bahrain and Egypt. The region dominates seven out of twenty countries in the classification, reflecting significant challenges related to water scarcity and increasing dependence on technologies such as desalination and water recycling to ensure water security. Most of these countries are located in arid regions with low rainfall and face growing difficulties due to population growth and climate change impacts. This situation threatens food and economic security and heightens water-related geopolitical tensions.
