Southwest Asia began using desalination in the mid-20th century, with significant developments occurring in the 1950s and 1960s. Countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait were among the pioneers, implementing desalination technologies to address water scarcity issues. This trend has continued to grow, with many nations in the region relying heavily on desalination to meet their freshwater needs. Today, Southwest Asia is a leader in desalination technology and capacity.

Why are desalination and dip irrigation not used more in Southwest Asia?

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...
