Ownership of Water Sources and Use Licenses in the Saudi Water Law

ملكية مصادر المياه ورخص استخدامها — نظام المياه

Surface and groundwater sources are public property. A license and fee are required to use any water source other than seawater; the Ministry approves desalination plant sites; wells must have meters, with a fee for exceeding the water allowance; and a well license does not pass with a transfer of land ownership without the Ministry's approval.
