Kuwait's Environment Authority For Action To Reduce Dust Storms

Kuwait's Environment Public Authority is working with other government agencies and organizations to minimize dust storm eruptions.

In a statement, Sheikh Abdullah Ahmad Al-Hamoud Al-Sabah, Director General of the Environment Public Authority (EPA), stated that afforestation would reduce dust storms.

At an EPA-organized workshop on Monday, Al-Sabah said that the authority will cooperate with different bodies to develop a new system and provide environmentally friendly solutions to reduce dust and stabilize the soil.

EPA officials are also planting trees along various routes to reduce dust in Kuwait with support from the Public Authority for Agriculture Affairs and Fisheries.

Al-Sabah noted that the Environmental Protection Agency is developing methods for treating the water to address the seasonal fish deaths in Kuwait's bay because of the depletion of oxygen from the water.
