With regard to the article “Families struggling without water in EP” (Apr. 22), why is a country like Saudi Arabia facing a water shortage? There is surely enough money to desalinate water for daily use. The water shortage is a conspiracy by some people so that they can sell water through water tankers. I urge the concerned officials to solve this problem as soon as possible. Jeddah has also faced a similar problem for a long time. Atiq, Online response
