has been driven by increasing industrialization of economies, and investment
boom in real estate sector particularly GCC region. Governments and planning
agencies in the region are facing huge challenge of meeting the soaring water
demand. While in GCC countries the demand has been rising due to growing
population, improving lifestyle, and huge quantum of investments flowing into
various sectors of economy; in North Africa it is driven by recent drought
conditions and chronic water shortages prevalent in some regions of these
countries. Accordingly there has been increase in the number of Build Own
