The perception of the seriousness of the global position on water resources has prompted governments and international organizations to work on conferences, programs, plans and enactment of water laws. One of the most prominent features of this lack of conventional water resources is the failure to meet the requirements in many parts of the world, as well as efforts to conserve water resources and rationalize their uses in different sectors of development, to try to shorten the natural cycle of providing fresh water from the huge balance of salt water in the seas and oceans, By evaporation by solar heating and then sedimentation in the form of rain flowing in rivers and floods, as well as by the use of technology for the manufacture of fresh water, hence the remarkable expansion in the construction of saline desalination plants or brackish groundwater. Recent years have witnessed faster rates in the establishment of these plants and in the development of modern desalination techniques, such as sudden volatilities, multi-electrolysis, electrolysis, freezing and reverse osmosis, and finally the use of renewable energies for this purpose.
Taking into account the high operational cost of water desalination, it is obvious that all areas of conservation of water that are extracted from salt water should be concentrated. Water conservation includes all steps of production, transport, storage and distribution. It is also obvious that in parallel the need to collect and treat wastewater resources for reuse in areas that necessarily reduce demand for freshwater and thus reduce the burden of the State's excessive costs to provide additional water resources.
Water is particularly important for the State of Kuwait. This is important because Kuwait is located in a desert marine area with no fresh natural water, which hindered its development before the advent of oil. However, when material resources were available, Kuwait moved towards the sea to supply its fresh water needs. Social and economic development over the last 50 years has been mainly supported by the only freshwater source using seawater distillation techniques.
The production capacity of distillation plants grew from one million imperial gallons per day in 1953 to 282 million imperial gallons per day in 1998. This development coincided with an increase in freshwater consumption from 0.7 million imperial gallons per day in 1954 to 215 million gallons per day in 1998, The maximum daily consumption in the same year was more than 256 million gallons per day. Considering that the highest utilization rate of distillation plants is not more than 90% of the nominal capacity of these units, the current production capacity is barely State of fresh water .
The Ministry of Electricity and Water has made considerable efforts and spent considerable sums to build fresh water reservoirs in the form of high ground and conical concrete tanks with a total capacity of about 2,000 million gallons per day that barely meet average consumption requirements for more than 9 days. It is worth mentioning that the Ministry has an emergency plan to regulate the consumption of fresh water and distribute it to citizens when needed. However, following the liberation of the State of Kuwait from the destruction of water production facilities and the lack or possibility of Control over the rationing of water distribution, has proved beyond any doubt. Emergency plans for the regulation, distribution and consumption of fresh water can not be a substitute for the strategic storage of water and can not be relied upon to provide water security to ensure the natural continuity of the State of Kuwait under all circumstances.
In this context, the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) has conducted studies and researches on the development of water resources and ways of preserving them, particularly studies related to the development and settlement of modern water desalination and studies related to the artificial recharge of water in natural underground reservoirs, as well as studies related to the treatment and reuse of wastewater.
