Where does Dubai gets it drinking water from?

Dubai primarily obtains its drinking water through desalination, a process that removes salt and impurities from seawater. The majority of the water is produced by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) through several desalination plants. Additionally, some freshwater is sourced from aquifers, but this accounts for a smaller portion of the overall supply. The city’s reliance on desalination is essential due to its limited natural freshwater resources.
