Kuwait Mulling Construction Of Man-made Islands

15 July 2017 Kuwait

Artificial islands could soon find their way in the State of Kuwait, following in the footsteps of other GCC countries

A number of government departments have revived the project and drawn-up a feasibility study which will be submitted to the Cabinet.

Under the plan, a series of man-made islets could be constructed in areas like Al Ebdelli, Al Sabya, Al Salmiya, in addition to the southern region.

Experts believe that artificial islands could have a positive impact on the environment and alleviate temperature during scorching heat.

The study found that man-made islands could attract colonies of migrant birds, support food reserves and provide green spaces for the tourism sector.

The same project was studied five years ago but it was shelved pending more scrutiny.
