严重缺水是阿联酋可持续发展面临的一大问题。该国干旱的气候对可利用的水资源量有着显著影响。降雨是补给各种水资源,诸如地表水和地下水的一大来源,但该国雨量稀少且时空分布极不规律,减少地表水总量的蒸发量却很高。大量开采地下水导致地下水位下降。阿联酋已在全国各地兴建海水淡化厂以满足因人口增长和经济发展而日益增长的需水量。储水量持续降低将阻碍该国的发展。为避免这一问题,应实施水资源综合管理(IWRM)战略。寻求新型的非常规资源也很重要。旨在评价阿联酋的常规和非常规水资源并估算过去和未来的需水量。此外,集中阐述了阿联酋未来的水战略方案和计划。
Serious water shortages are one of the major problems facing the UAE’s sustainable development. The arid climate in the country has a significant impact on the amount of water available. Rainfall is a major source of recharge for all types of water resources, such as surface water and groundwater, but the rainfall in the country is sparse and spatially and temporally uneven, reducing the amount of surface water evaporated. The exploitation of groundwater in large quantities has resulted in a decrease of groundwater table. The United Arab Emirates has built desalination plants across the country to meet the growing demand for water due to population growth and economic development. Continued reduction in water storage will hinder the country’s development. To avoid this problem, an integrated water resources management (IWRM) strategy should be implemented. It is also important to find new types of unconventional resources. Aims to evaluate the UAE’s conventional and unconventional water resources and estimate past and future water needs. In addition, it focuses on the future strategic water plans and plans for the UAE.
