The document discusses water resources and the looming water crisis in the UAE. It notes that the UAE has limited underground water sources and desalination is very expensive. Treated wastewater is also low quality and rainfall is infrequent, leaving few renewable water options. The crisis stems from climate change, dryness, and drought. Proposed solutions include using filters, cloud seeding, and the Liwa water storage project to help address the country's limited water resources and growing demand.
