Depends on the country and its climate.
Some countries in Middle East have very hard climate such as Saudi Arabian, etc. But some others like Iran have a very good climate.
Here in Iran we have a lot of dams that storing rain and river waters and use for produce electrical power. Also some cities in Iran which don't have a good climate using underground sources. All of these waters after filtration are sending for consumers.

In some countries in the north, there are rivers, but in the deserts, its usually by rainwater, underground water sources, but mainly Desalination plants.
Desalination plants take sea water, take the salt out of them and distribute the water for the public. Saudi Arabia has a lot of them.

In the drier but richer gulf states they desalinate sea water. In Egypt and Sudan, they have the Nile river. In the Levant region (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine) they depend mostly on rain fall which is gathered in dams. They also have some rivers and what we call in French 'artésien' wells. In Iraq they have the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

They tend to live and travel near water sources, like a river or well or oasis.
If all else fails, just go to the store and buy a bottle of Pierre now.

Depends on the country, usually you turn on the sink. seriously groundwater is used a lot as drinking water (water from rain that seeps underground and is stored in aquifers) and they desalinate water also (take the salt out of sea water)

irrigtion systems. but in palestine in many parts of palestine them people are forced to walk to a well and collect their water. there are millions of displacepalestinians who are forced to reduce to this. there are many living in what we would call concentration camps but what the west politily calls REFUGEE camps.

I know that in wealthier countries they have de-salinization plants that remove salt from seawater..
