We are an Island (water all around us) but each summer we get hosepipe bans and droughts after 3 days continuous sunshine Quote: The arid climatic condition and the limited groundwater resource necessitated many middle east countries to look for alternate source of water. Moreover the increasing population has spurt the demand of clean drinking water. Due to this Gulf countries like Saudi Arabia' Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman have adopted other alternatives like wastewater reclamation and desalination since the 1960s.
Though ground water resource is available in countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain but the use of large quantity of this valuable resources is causing depletion and affecting the quality of water. It is therefore necessary that all the available conventional water resources like renewable groundwater and surface runoff are properly developed in an integrated water-resources planning context. However in some of the countries where the climate is even more arid and where the good quality of water is very limited, desalination of seawater is used commonly for solving the problems of water supply for municipal and industrial uses. |

I agree.....and if these countries ecer get proper democracy.....can you honestly see them wanting the fuel price lowered? CC |

captain, OPEC likes to screw us, they raise and lower production levels whenever they like to push the price up, democracy would make little difference, not that they will get it the BEST thing to happen would be for the car manufacturers get their fingers out and make a proper, practical leccy car using a fuel cell, we sent man to the moon with no petrol engine or extension leads, but we depend on a hole in the sand to keep our traffic moving and then, and only then would the wealth stop flowing to the middle east |

Much of it exported to you lot. BTW Your water system leaks more water than you actually use. Maybe someone should fix it. |

It's stubbornly locked at the £1.40 mark in the Brum area as a minimum, with many a few pence over that. Even some of the Tescos are at 140.9p. So yes, I think we're into another fuel price rise spiral. |
