摘要：

Water is a strategic commodity. Presently, scarcity of water supply in the GCC countries is overcome by desalination plants using depletable fossil fuels. The region will face major challenges to secure water supply in the next century and beyond.

This article highlights the dimension of the water supply problems in the Gulf and suggests a strategic option.
