MPs are calling for a transformative shift in mindset to ensure the kingdom captures every possible drop of its limited rainfall before it flows into the sea.

Now, Bahrain’s legislators are calling for a change in mindset – from treating rain as a ‘seasonal inconvenience’ to harnessing it as a strategic national resource.
