Water management solutions require the latest engineering and technology in order to safeguard this finite resource, and promote long-term security, building a more sustainable future for the populations and industries in the Middle East and Africa." According to Juez, the Middle East and North Africa has less than 1.5% of the world’s renewable freshwater resources, and therefore, most of the region’s water supply comes from desalination. Safely utilising treated sewage effluent (TSE) and other industrially treated wastewater also increases water security." Juez's complete views will appear in the 1209 issue of MEP Middle East's special report on Water Technology, which will be out on the first week of September 2017.
