Eng.. Khaldon H. Khashman- Secretary General, ACWUA says," The Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA) is the most water scarce region in the world. Limited water resources is leading to a large gap between available resources and increasing demand for water in different sectors.

He is looking forward to meet with water experts to exchange ideas, knowledge and expertise and to get opportunity to create new partnerships at the Forum.

We are thrilled to have ACWUA on board in GCC Power and Water Forum to showcase their expertise on the pressing issue of water scarcity".
