Water is a scarce commodity in Middle East countries including Kuwait and is the most limiting and strategically important resource. Water is essential for urban, industrial, and agricultural needs. At present in Kuwait, the bulk of the potable water comes from desalination plants. The cost of desalinated water is very high. In addition the increased standard of living has resulted in increased water demands in recent years. Treated wastewater is a valuable resource. Wastewater utilization is closely related to the generation, collection and transport , treatment, disposal and reuse of wastewater that is in accordance with the principles of public health, economics, engineering conservation, aesthetics, and other environmental factors along with political constraints. It also encompasses all administrative, financial, legal, planning and engineering functions in solving problems related to wastewater.
