Impacts of Submarine Groundwater Discharge on Kuwait Bay
Water Pollution XII 165 Impacts of submarine groundwater discharge on Kuwait Bay M. Al-Senafy & A. Fadlelmawla Water Research Center, Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, Kuwait Abstract The flow of groundwater into the sea, which is known as submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), is an important phenomenon that takes place at the interface between inland groundwater and the sea. The importance of this phenomenon arises from its proven impact on the chemistry of coastal waters. In efforts to support sound management of Kuwait bay, this study was carried out to obtain knowledge on one of the significant elements of the nutritional budget of the bay, that is, the SGD. The study adopted the use of naturally occurring radium isotopes as tracers to quantify the SGD to the bay. A total of 12 sampling campaigns were conducted resulting in the collection of 176 seawater samples. These samples were collected for oceanographic characterization of the bay water, determination of radium content, and determination of trace elements content as ancillary information. Two groundwater sampling campaigns were conducted resulting in collecting 48 radium samples, 45 major elements samples and 23 trace elements samples. Signs for SGD impacts on the characteristics of the bay were examined by looking into temporal and spatial correlations between 226Ra activities and bay water characteristics. Overall, temperature, nitrate and chlorophyll-a showed temporal and spatial trend similar to radium. It is recommended to conduct an overall budgeting of the bay’s nutritional and elemental inputs and outputs in order to reduce the impacts of SGD. Keywords: radium, Arabian Gulf, nutritional budget, sea. -

Semantic Innovation and Change in Kuwaiti Arabic: a Study of the Polysemy of Verbs
` Semantic Innovation and Change in Kuwaiti Arabic: A Study of the Polysemy of Verbs Yousuf B. AlBader Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics April 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis is a socio-historical study of semantic innovation and change of a contemporary dialect spoken in north-eastern Arabia known as Kuwaiti Arabic. I analyse the structure of polysemy of verbs and their uses by native speakers in Kuwait City. I particularly report on qualitative and ethnographic analyses of four motion verbs: dašš ‘enter’, xalla ‘leave’, miša ‘walk’, and i a ‘run’, with the aim of establishing whether and to what extent linguistic and social factors condition and constrain the emergence and development of new senses. The overarching research question is: How do we account for the patterns of polysemy of verbs in Kuwaiti Arabic? Local social gatherings generate more evidence of semantic innovation and change with respect to the key verbs than other kinds of contexts. The results of the semantic analysis indicate that meaning is both contextually and collocationally bound and that a verb’s meaning is activated in different contexts. In order to uncover the more local social meanings of this change, I also report that the use of innovative or well-attested senses relates to the community of practice of the speakers. The qualitative and ethnographic analyses demonstrate a number of differences between friendship communities of practice and familial communities of practice. The groups of people in these communities of practice can be distinguished in terms of their habits of speech, which are conditioned by the situation of use. -

Kabd WWTP was constructed in 2010 and started operating in 2012. It was designed to treat domestic wastewater for biological organic matter and nitrogen removal, by using an activated sludge process treatment consisting on four parallel treatment lines followed by a tertiary treatment, the latter required in order to be able to reuse the produced wastewater for agricultural uses. -
