Q. Why is water conservation such an important issue?
A. 75% of the earth is covered by water but 97.5% of that water is salt water. This means that only 2.5% of water can be safely drunk without desalination, which is expensive and damaging to the environment and most of that is not accessible because it is trapped as ice. Shockingly, over 80% of waste water is not used again!
Q. What is Qatarati?
A. Qatarati is a national water saving program, launched by the National Water Company (NWC) in Saudi Arabia, functioning like a loyalty program and rewarding its members for rationalizing water consumption, among other water saving behaviors.
