it sounds like a simple solution right, that's what i thought but its not. desalination systems are very costly and with the recession right now, its not the first thing on peoples lists.
Since south west Asia isn't one of the most richest countries, its very costly to install a new desalination system, which other countries such as North Africa have others to come in and pay for it. for example, Hyflux won US$100m to install a new one there. If they had someone pay for theirs too, i bet they would use it more...

Oil was first discovered in Southwest Asia in 1908. Since then, oil fields in many regions of Southwest Asia have been found, and other countries rely heavily on Southwest Asia for oil to meet the demands of their economies: transportation requires gasoline (which is oil in a refined form) and power plants burn oil to produce electricity. Specifically, the United States, Japan, and many European countries heavily depend on Southwest Asia for oil because it is home to such vast amounts of petroleum. So, Southwest Asia's oil fields are important to many countries' economies, and thus the world economy, making Southwest Asia very important in terms of world position.

Desalination is a process that removes salt and other impurities from seawater or brackish water to produce fresh water suitable for drinking and irrigation. It is increasingly used in water-scarce regions to supplement traditional water sources. However, desalination is energy-intensive and can have environmental impacts, such as marine life disruption and brine disposal issues. Despite these challenges, advancements in technology are making desalination more efficient and sustainable.
