ABSTRACT
The water resources of Kuwait are far from being sustainable due to many factors such as fragmented and weak water demand management, high consumption rate per capita, and adaptation of a policy that aims at expanding irrigated agriculture and industrialization. At present, Kuwait subsidizes desalinated water and associated infrastructure to safeguard sustainable access to adequate quantities of acceptable quality water. This chapter develops a water resources sustainability plan (including policies) in response to the social, economic, and environmental conditions in Kuwait in order to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals to sustain water supplies for the future of Kuwait.
