The resentment of citizens is logical because they have not seen any grand projects or real develop- ments despite the financial surpluses achieved by Kuwait in the years that witnessed rises in oil prices. It is been a decade without the completion of the university in Shadadiya, which still needs additional years to be ready, if it survives the annual fires. The project has turned into a joke. In her press conference, Subaih explained that some projects faced problems because no lands were allocated for it. So it was decided that no future projects would be included in Kuwait’s development plans until land is allocated. She also explained that some projects have been delayed for more than 15 years due to changes in budgets, conditions or other basic elements. She commented on the issue of accountability of those who are responsible for the delays, saying it is the minister’s task to report to the Cabinet in order to take proper measures against them. Delays in the completion of projects creates multiple problems in the community, because a delay in the completion of a residential city will cause problems for those waiting to get housing, and will add extra pressure on a family that will have to stay longer in rented flats. Delays in the completion of roads may cause problems for motorists and lead to traffic jams. There have been multiple studies on the reasons for delays in the completion of major projects. Contractors are the main reason for the delay, along with the failure of planning and construction pro- grams. Ambiguity in the goals of many construction projects in terms of quality, cost and time is also part of the main reasons causing the delay. KUWAIT: Environment police, Environment Public Authority (EPA) and municipality inspectors yesterday raided a sheep pen in Rai that was used as a slaughterhouse without Kuwait needs foreign technology and needs to a license. Officials said following the operation that the pen’s owner was going to be summoned for questioning. — Photos By Fouad Al-Shaikh attract investment companies, but this cannot be done without the provision of facilities to get visas, serious implementation of laws and fighting corrup- tion and bribery.

MPs condemn Govt’s lack of vision on Silk City By A Saleh KUWAIT: The parliament’s public facilities committee is due to discuss a proposal to establish a public authority for Silk City and Boubyan Island in a meeting today. Informed parliamentary sources said MPs were dissatisfied with the government’s lack of vision about the Silk City project and stressed that the bill would not be passed this term because the government still needs to provide the com- mittee with more information about the project. Bills to be debated MP Faisal Al-Shaye stressed that a number of bills were expected to be passed before the end of the National Assembly’s 14th legislative term, including those on public tenders, regulating the profession of pharmacists, amending the real estate registry law and the parliamentary elections law.

KRCS to provide iftar meals to Syrian families in Lebanon BEIRUT: Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) announced yesterday that it would distribute iftar (breaking-fast) meals to about 30,000 Syrian refugee families across Lebanon during the holy month of Ramadan, which falls in June. Concluding a delegation’s visit to Lebanon, KRCS’ head Dr Hilal Al-Sayer said in a statement that the society would also hand out clothes of Eid Al-Fitr to more than 2,000 Syrian refugee families in Lebanon. KRCS organizes these campaigns for the fourth year in a row, he said, adding that they are seeking to improve stan- dards of living of Syrian families suffering from tough con- ditions. The aid is part of the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Humanitarian Leader, aiming to support Syrian people, he noted. Sayer reiterated Kuwait’s keenness to constantly provide such a humanitarian aid to Syrian refugees. He pointed out that the delegation’s visit was successful, indi- cating that a deal was signed with International Committee of the Red Cross to treat and rehabilitate amputees, and KUWAIT: The Environmental Police carried out an inspection tour at the coastline in Khairan and Sabah Al-Ahmad Sea City yesterday, in cooperation with the Environment another one was inked with Qatar Red Crescent Society for Public Authority (EPA).

As with some other small oil-rich Gulf states, the majority of the population are non- citizen expatriates7. The country is named after its capital and largest city.

  • Evaluating the Impacts of SO2 Emissions from Power Stations in Kuwait
    Air Pollution XVIII 59 Evaluating the impacts of SO2 emissions from power stations in Kuwait M. M. Al-Awadhi1 & M. F. Yassin2 1The Public Authority for Applied Education & Training, Kuwait 2Department of Environmental Technology Management, College for Women, Kuwait University, Kuwait Abstract The AERMOD-ISC dispersion model has been used to study the impact SO2 emitted from power stations in Kuwait. SO2 emissions from fifteen stacks were studied to evaluate the pollutant dispersion patterns and the risk of nearby populations being negatively affected by such emission. One year’s meteorological data was used for simulating the ground level concentrations of SO2. The level was estimated based on a model simulating the concentration on an hourly, daily and annual basis. The air quality was monitored at four different residential areas over the course of a year. The simulated concentrations were validated by comparing them with the observed values at four locations in residential areas. The results demonstrated that there is a great similarity in the simulated concentrations with observed values. The model performance was also found to be satisfactory. The hourly and daily concentrations of the simulated model exceeded the KW-EPA limits. This indicates that there is a significant influence of SO2 emission from the power station in ambient air quality. Keywords: air quality, dispersion model, AREMOD, meteorological data, sulfur dioxide. 1 Introduction The deterioration of air quality in urban areas has been shown to be linked to serious health problems. Pollutants such as sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) of power stations can have serious health effects if the ambient concentration in the air reaches high levels.
