Rainfall is sparse in Saudi Arabia, and there are no permanent rivers or bodies of water. The country has to rely primarily on desalination to provide potable water. Usually very large desalination plants which are found in all the coastal cities, are combined with electricity generation as the most cost-effective solution.
Many will be surprised to learn that there are extremely large underground water resources , particularly in the Eastern province. In some places water can be found by digging just a metre below the desert sands. There are occasionally freshwater wells and springs in certain settlements and in many cases the brack water is purified by a process of reverse osmosis. In the mountainous areas both in the North and the South where arable land is available, and a more generous rainfall, there are often many springs and wells.

The mass pollution of the water bodies in Saudi Arabia is what is referred to as unsustainable.
No. Saudi Arabia has minimal amounts of water, but there are some small oases or lakes in the country. However, Saudi Arabia has an insufficient amount of water for its citizenry and therefore must import water and use desalinization to provide for its people.
NO
Saudi Arabia has water constraints because it is primarily a desert with no major sources of fresh water to quench the thirst of its 28 million inhabitants.
