Qatar has no groundwater or surface water anymore AIUI. But they have an incredible oversupply of natural gas that they can’t build enough export capacity for. So it mashes sense to use the gas they can’t export to desalinate water, and they do.

It would be ironic if they become a supplier of water to other countries too.
