Darwish); Tel. +974 44545887; email: [email protected] (A. Hassan) Received 17 April 2017; Accepted 19 July 2017 abstract Qatar is an arid land with very scarce natural freshwater resources. Its groundwater resources are lim- ited and are being heavily depleted by inefficient irrigation methods and the growing population. As a result, Qatar relies primarily on desalination of seawater. Accurate assessment of water resources, consumption levels and virtual water trade is the first step in formulating an effective water resources management policy. This paper, hence, reviews the renewable and non-renewable water resources and the disaggregated consumption trends as well virtual water trade in Qatar. The total groundwater pro- duced internally is 56 Mm3/year and its consumption rate is 250 Mm3/year which is mainly dominated by farms. The agricultural sector consumes 91% of all renewable water resources in Qatar. The total desalination capacity is 1.4 Mm3/d which is primarily from thermal desalination plants.
