ABSTRACT

Water scarcity is a prominent challenge threatening efforts to achieve food security in the GCC. A predominantly arid region characterized by scant and erratic rainfall combined with high potential evaporation rates exacerbates the profound and widespread impacts of accelerating water scarcity on local agricultural sustainability. The increasing demand for freshwater to meet the growing need for food to sustain the growing population remains a pressing concern amidst the constrained freshwater supply. Agriculture, consuming over 70% of the available water resources in the GCC, faces a forecasted 50% increase in water demand by 2050, intensifying competition with other essential water sectors.

Keywords: Water scarcity; Food security; Agricultural sustainability; Global warming; ICBA; Water resources; Climate change; Agri-aquaculture approach; Remote sensing; IoT technologies
