Water consumption in Dubai UAE 2016-2023, by source

In 2023, the consumption of desalinated water in the emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), exceeded 144 billion imperial gallons. Residential consumption accounted for the majority of total consumption that year.  Volume of produced water in the UAEThe Abu Dhabi Department of Energy produced the most water in the UAE in 2020, followed by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. For that year, the total amount of water produced in the UAE was almost two billion cubic meters. The total installed capacity of water production plants in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the same year was 7.23 million cubic meters per day.  Water scarcity in the Middle EastDue to the effects of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, water resources in the region are being depleted. The amount of groundwater extracted in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region declined significantly in 2020. As a result, water desalination efforts in the region intensified. Governments are pursuing costly desalinization projects in response to the region's growing demand for water supplies. Saudi Arabia produces the most desalinated water, followed by the United Arab Emirates among the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

于2023年，阿联酋迪拜酋长国对淡化水的消耗量已超过1440亿英加仑。当年，住宅用水占去了总消耗量的绝大部分。在2020年，阿布扎比能源部在阿联酋的淡化水产量中位居首位，紧随其后的是迪拜水电局。当年，阿联酋的水产量总计接近20亿立方米。同年，阿联酋淡化水生产设施的装机总容量达到了每日723万立方米。鉴于气候变化和温室气体排放的影响，中东地区的水资源正在逐渐枯竭。2020年，海湾合作委员会（GCC）地区的地下水开采量显著下降，因此该地区的水淡化工作得到了加强。面对地区对供水需求的不断增长，各国政府正积极实施成本高昂的淡化水项目。沙特阿拉伯在中东国家中淡化水的产量最高，阿联酋位居其后。欲了解更多关于全球变暖和中东地区天气趋势的信息，请参阅我们关于中东气候变化的专题报道。
