Vineeta Bhatt

Abstract :

 Qatar is facing a unique set of challenges with respect to water scarcity due to shortage of reliable ground and fresh water sources. Water consumption is about 675 litres of water per capita per day. The population is expected to increase nearly eightfold by 2050. Qatar is water–stressed due to population and economic growth. Using energy efficient solar powered desalination plants can be a one of the solution that is considered in the paper.This paper makes an attempt to study Japan’s equations with Qatar with special reference to water. The paper can be grounded into following categories: What are the strategic interests of Japan in Qatar? How Japanese investments in Qatar are geå up? Accordingly, the key research questions of the paper are: How Japanese technology can address challenges of water shortage in Qatar? Can Japanese technology make a difference in a timely enough manner by that the path for sustainable growth requires blue solutions?
