The 5th Arab Water Forum, the most important event for the Arab community to discuss and update the management of water resources, has begun in Dubai (United Arab Emirates).

With its slogan "Arab Water Security for Peace and Sustainable Development", the Forum addresses issues such as "water security" in Arab countries, cross-border cooperation and water for sustainable development.
