Kuwait Has The Best Drinking Water Quality In The World

Water resources and their value are an invaluable wealth, according to Assistant Undersecretary for Water Projects Sector Hammoud Al-Roudhan, and Kuwait, represented by the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, is eager to participate in Arab Water Day, which takes place on March 3 every year.

"We take this occasion to remind our Arab peoples and those concerned with water affairs in the Arab world of the importance and worth of water resources and that they are the source of life," Al-Roudhan said in a press statement.

"Our Arab countries suffer from a water shortage, and are ranked last in terms of the availability of freshwater resources," he continued, "and the per capita share of water is the lowest internationally compared to other regions of the world, putting us in front of major challenges compared to the rest of the world's population, and the reasons for these are multiple and overlapping, some of which have natural, environmental, and climatic dimensions, such as the aridity of the Sahara Desert."

He noted that the gap is widening year after year and that Arab countries have made significant efforts to address the issue, establishing priorities in the distribution of water resources and rationalization of their use, as well as the localization of techniques used in the field of water resource preservation, and achieving the stated goal.

"Making sure the provision of water and sanitation services for all, and their sustainable management,” are according to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Kuwait has placed a high value on the issue of water, and it is shown in the fact that many of the Ministry's strategies and action plans incorporate water-related operations.

Kuwait has cooperated with all Arab and international institutions, he continued, in addition to its participation in Arab, regional, and international meetings on water and the environment, and its contribution to enriching and exchanging scientific knowledge and experience, working to improve human relations to deal with these vital issues, raising awareness of their importance, and contributing to the dissemination of successful experiences and their dissemination to benefit from them.

According to World Health Organization and UNICEF studies, Kuwait has been able to ensure its water needs for more than 70 years by purifying seawater in a variety of ways, making it one of the top countries in the world for the quality of drinking water it has generated.

He emphasized the significance of properly consuming water and conserving it without wasting it, as well as making the best use of water resources and protecting them from contamination, as well as changing individual behavior when it comes to water use and conservation.
