A Review on the Environmental Issues in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia with Special Focus on Water Pollution
Saleh Faraj Magram

Abstract:
This study seeks to compile data on environmental issues in Jeddah, which is the most significant commercial city in Saudi Arabia, through a comprehensive review of the available studies. The growth of the city of Jeddah over the last fifty years and particularly in the last thirty has been rapid and diverse. Due to lack of proper care, unfortunately the development activities were accompanied by environmental degradation. Today there are many integrated management issues that relate not only to water, but also the air, land and the marine resources of Jeddah. This study systematically compiled data on environmental issues in Jeddah. Special focus was given on the water issues. It became evident through the review of the available past studies and recommendations that a significant problem in solving the environmental issues is related to the issues of integrated environmental management. Some actions that should be considered in order to resolve the high priority issues were proposed.
