The Kingdom's consumption of water and electricity is double the international average, which if continued is likely to result in a serious strain on the economy.
Water consumption stands at 20 billion cubic meters daily for various uses, said Turki Al-Otaibi, an expert in the water sector. “The daily consumption stands at 2.8 million water tanks despite the strict instructions of the authorities to rationalize water consumption,” Al-Otaibi was reported as saying.
He said the level of consumption could only be reduced if the population cooperates with the government.
