There are no naturally occurring surface water sources in the UAE, it is a desert. There are some underground aquifers, but most of these are now over used or contaminated by saltwater (sea). Fresh water for drinking is provided by coastal desalination plants which convert sea water to potable (drinking quality) water.

Much of the irrigated "green space" around and through Dubai is provided by STP water or "grey-water" from the sewerage recycling plants.
