Saudi Arabia is classified as one of the most water-scarce nations on the planet. Although there are high levels of access to water, the lack of reliable renewable water, and clean water has been a menacing issue. Due to that, the conditions of the water are harming both the environment and the people. For these reasons, I conducted research, and evidence to prove the water sanitary conditions. 

First of all, the major sources of water are rapidly disappearing. According to BorgenProject, the groundwater and the seawater each account for 50% of the water consumed in Saudi Arabia. However, this water has to go through the process of desalination, which is extremely expensive and causes serious environmental concerns due to carbon emissions. Although some of the areas around the major downtowns of the cities have a higher possibility of experiencing the scarcity of water, the rural cities face extreme challenges in getting a drink, or water to use for better sanitation. 

Additionally, the purity of the water is a vulnerable issue that is endangering the people. The water sanitation system is not in a satisfying condition. For instance, I have conducted research (or an experiment) on how long the filter will remain clean after using the shower filter. As the image shows below, it turned to a dark yellow and brownish filter after about 30 minutes, while originally it was pure white. This eventually highlights the fact that the water conditions in Saudi Arabia are a threatening problem, both for the environment and the citizens.

In order to prevent these problems, Saudi Arabia has undertaken substantial investments in seawater desalination, water distribution, and water sanitation systems. However, more effort should be implemented in these systems, for the coexistence of the uncontaminated environment and healthy people.
