they did that when i was china they always boil the water then lets it cool then drink it.

Really? When? where?

Looks awesome. China has the potential to become a top tourist destination.For me, Dubai is all 'man made structure', it lacks natural beauty----------No green belts, no trees, no mountains & above all no diversity in seasons.

China already is one of the top destinations.

The Burj Khalifa Fountain, is a very small lake. Maybe 10 feet deep. The one in Madinat Jumeirah is just a 2km or 3km long sea water canal.

Crystal Lagoon - Don't think it exists.

As far as I know, the UAE does not have any man made lakes for water storage purposes, (although up north, mini-dams do exist). This is why I'm a bit surprised with people quoting Dubai / UAE.

Haha I dont blame you for holding a different standard, thanks and cheers!

Not for water storage, just for beautification and landscaping.

Yeah, I mentioned that they are not for water storage, just for landscaping.

Drinking water is UAE's top priority right now. They've already identified it as the single biggest challenge facing the country. But there are no natural water sources big enough to fill reservoirs and desalinating sea water (as they currently do) is only affordable due to oil supplies and the funds available to the government.

The pics you are posting is of sea water lagoons/ creeks.

Due to the high evaporation loss, lakes make little sense, hence the UAE does NOT invest in man made lakes, as water reservoirs. On the other hand, under ground tanks, and above ground insulated / un-insultaed tanks are used for water storage.
