Kuwait’s daily consumption per capita of energy and of desalted water is amongst the highest in the world. Total consumption of each is almost doubled every 10 years. The current cost of providing a reliable source of fresh water in Kuwait, through desalination plants exceeds 1.2 US$ billion annually2. The government estimates that by the year 2050, given current consumption patterns, the majority of the country’s revenue that is generated by oil will be required to fund the increased production of desalinated water1.
