Executive Summary

The Middle East is one of the most water-scarce regions in the world, with countries like Kuwait possessing almost nil internal renewable water resources. But the demand for water is high, with Kuwait showcasing one of the highest water consumption per capita per day, in the region. Desalination and sewage treatment plants are the main sources of water in the country, as the annual precipitation is meager. With a high number of residential consumers, numerous projects are being undertaken to bridge the gap between demand and supply.

We enumerate the investments and projects that are presently underway in Kuwait water sector to sort out the water related problems of the country.
