ABSTRACT
The Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia, occupy a prominent place in terms of their uniqueness of proximity to many sources of alternative energy. They are characterized for their long sun shining hours, e.g. Saudi Arabia is of a prime location to harness solar energy because of its year-round sunshine. The average energy from the sunlight falling on Saudi Arabia is 2200 thermal kWh/m2. The winds perpetual motion, differences in weather conditions between different areas of the KSA create the opportunity for active air currents. It is characterized by an abundance of plenty underground soft water, salty water traps and plenty amounts of waste waters all over the country. Saudi Arabia was producing 18% of the worlds desalinated waters, It sounds as though the Kingdom recognizes the solar and winds potential it owns, that can be utilized for improving the level of life for the majority of its inhabitants especially those living in dry and or semi-dry isolated places which can be attained by providing the necessary quantities of water for individuals and for governmental interests in these areas.
