Kuwait's water reserves have reached a new high of 4,186 million gallons

Kuwait's strategic water reserve recently reached an unprecedented 4,186 million imperial gallons, breaking records. This marks an increase of 11 million gallons from the highest rate earlier in the week, demonstrating the nation's commitment to water security.

Al-Rai was informed by ministry sources that a series of ongoing and future projects will increase water storage capacity to accommodate the growing population. It includes key initiatives like the nine Al-Mutlaa reservoir projects and reservoir developments in Wafra and Na'ayem to fortify Kuwait's strategic water reserve.

It can be attributed to meticulous coordination among concerned sectors that the water stock levels have increased during this period, compared to a significant 72 percent decrease just a few months ago. Notably, the maintenance of distillers and effective water network management have played pivotal roles in this reversal.

Regarding the Gulf water connection project, sources confirmed that discussions are ongoing. The initial plan involves establishing a bilateral connection between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia before extending the connection to encompass other Gulf countries. Kuwait's commitment to improving water infrastructure and promoting regional collaboration on water resources is evident in this strategic approach.
