Dubai's potable (drinking) water is obtained from desalination; the process is: They take the sea water, boil it and let the steam cool. The condensed water is then filtered and treated to make if fit for human consumption, washing and industrial use.

The byproduct is concentrated brine (salt) water which is then pumped back into the Gulf.

In actual fact the water is used first in the Dubai Aluminium (Jebel Ali) works before final cleaning at the DEWA (Jebel Ali) plant. This way they are able to utilise the water first to cool the aluminum smelters before it is cleaned for further domestic/ commercial consumption.

All dookie water (bath, toilet etc.) from houses and industry is collected by a fleet of waste water truck as Dubai does not have a sewer system. This is taken to the processing plant in Al Awir where the solids are removed (and safely processed), the water component is then treated and utilised as grey/ non-potable water - this is piped out to the Dubai Municipality and utilised to water the green municipal areas of Dubai including the road verges and numerous parks.
