Abstract
The Shuaiba industrial area of Kuwait contains the greatest concentration of industries in the state. Many of these industries discharge their liquid effluents into the Arabian Gulf, the major source of raw water for the desalination units supplying the potable water system in Kuwait. In order to prevent gross pollution of this water body, a major industrial wastewater pollution control programme has been initiated in Shuaiba. In this paper the basic elements of this programme are outlined.
