This study aims undertake extensive analysis resources review current strategies better planning management. main sources freshwater are seawater desalination, brackish groundwater, recycling wastewater. Seawater desalination source that produces 61% drinking, agriculture, other water-dependent industries. Other measures related rainfall drainage systems networks employed utilize scarce water. Multiple government organizations enforce several legal frameworks oversee long-term acute water-related issues. Regional neighbors face similar climatic suffer associated shortages. Water conservation cultivating water-efficient crops have been identified as effective overcome this issue. However, small size dry climate Kuwait, its future challenging. must invest modern, innovative, solutions preserve sustainability resources.
