Qatar is a rich country with good roads, hospitals, and schools. But it’s in the desert, so there’s not much natural water. They mostly use seawater that’s cleaned to make it drinkable. The government says water is very important and they try to keep it clean.
Is It Safe to Drink Tap Water in Qatar?
Scientists checked the tap water and bottled water in Qatar. They say both are safe to drink and meet world health standards. But there can be problems:
– Old pipes in buildings might make the water dirty
– Water tanks on buildings can get dirty if not cleaned
What Do People in Qatar Actually Do?
Most inhabitants of Qatar do not consume tap water. They prefer bottled water because:
– They are not confident that tap water is always good to consume.
– Bottled water is easy to access and people are willing to pay for the commodity.
– Some people believe that it has better taste because it is sourced from springs and it does not have any impurities.
Less than one-third of respondents, 30 out of 100, consume tap water at home regularly.
What if you chose to use tap water when cooking?
Unless the tap water is purified and safe for drinking, it is safe to cook with as the heat kills germs. Whenever most homes and restaurants get water it’s through the tap and this water is used for cooking.
Should Visitors Buy Bottled Water?
– Drink bottled water
– The following advice can be helpfully divided in to two groups: For daily water, it is advisable to install a water filter.
– Drink only surveyed water after it has been boiled
Popular Bottled Water Brands in Qatar
– Rayyan
– Nestle Pure Life
– Aquafina
– Dana
– Qatar Oasis
What About Water in Parks?
The water in park fountains and sprinklers is clean but not for drinking. It’s only treated enough for watering plants, not for people to drink.
While tap water in Qatar is generally treated to be safe, many people prefer bottled water to be extra careful. If you’re visiting, it’s best to stick with bottled or filtered water for drinking.
