Kuwait’s freshwater reserves have risen significantly to 93%, signaling strong readiness to handle the increasing demand during the scorching summer months. According to official sources, the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy expects these reserves to reach 95% soon, reflecting the country’s full preparedness and operational stability.

Officials attributed this achievement to the tireless efforts of ministry employees across multiple departments. In particular, the desalination and water production sectors have played a critical role in ensuring a steady supply of freshwater. The ministry reaffirmed its commitment to sustaining reliable water distribution for the public during high-demand periods.

Sources highlighted the proactive measures and continuous coordination among teams that have ensured Kuwait’s water security remains stable and sustainable. This includes constant monitoring, strategic planning, and the adoption of advanced technologies to manage consumption and prevent shortages.

• Expanding desalination plant capacity
• Upgrading water distribution networks
• Increasing storage capabilities to meet urban expansion and population growth

These efforts aim to bolster Kuwait’s resilience against future emergencies and ensure sustainable access to freshwater for generations to come.

In related news, the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) has approved a second three-month extension—starting July 25—for the ongoing annual maintenance of the seawater reverse osmosis (RO) unit at the Shuwaikh Power and Water Distillation Plant. The extension comes at no additional cost and will remain in effect until a new maintenance tender is officially awarded.

This maintenance is crucial for sustaining the plant’s efficiency and output, especially during periods of high consumption. Similar infrastructure projects continue to reinforce Kuwait’s position as a regional leader in water resource management.

Kuwait’s focus on water sustainability aligns with broader national goals to enhance resource management amid climate change and regional water scarcity. The integration of modern technologies and strategic policy execution ensures the water sector is equipped to face current and future challenges.
