This campaign is a partnership between the Human Line Organization and the Social Work Society in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and other international organizations. “One Roof” Campaign works toward building a positive relationship between the employer and domestic worker that is governed by justice and serves to protect the rights and dignity of both parties. The campaign aims to raise awareness about domestic workers’ rights as stated in Kuwaiti laws to reduce conflict and problems that may arise due to the lack of awareness of laws that regulate the work of domestic workers in Kuwait. “One Roof” also seeks to emphasize that domestic work is an occupation that should be regulated by laws and procedures. About the Legal Guide While the relationship between the employer and domestic worker in Kuwait is successful and effective in most cases, it is still important for domestic workers to be knowledgeable of their legal rights and responsibilities in order to be familiar with the rules that regulate their work and be able to demand their rights in case they were violated.

  • Trihalomethane Levels and Their Seasonal Variation in Drinking Water Produced from Thermal Desalination in Kuwait H.F
    Open Environmental Sciences, 2008, 2, 88-100 88 Open Access Trihalomethane Levels and Their Seasonal Variation in Drinking Water Produced from Thermal Desalination in Kuwait H.F. Al-Mudhaf1 and A.I. Abu-Shady*,2 1College of Technological Studies, Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET), Kuwait 2Ibn Al-Haitham In-Service Training Center, PAAET, Kuwait Abstract: Drinking water is obtained in Kuwait by blending desalinated seawater with 5–10% brackish water. Chemical analysis of trihalomethanes (THMs) was performed on 624 water samples collected from private residences and govern- ment buildings from December 2003 to May 2005. The highest value recorded (91.01 g/L), exceeds the maximum con- taminant level (MCL) set by the U.S. EPA. Significant variations in the levels of total THMs (TTHMs) either between various sampling locations or between indoor and outdoor sampling points were found. TTHM levels were mostly higher in the outdoor samples. The maximum recorded value of TTHMs in the indoor drinking water has significantly increased from 50.5 g/L in 1988 (average 25.6±9.1g/L) to 90.5 g/L (average 45.5±2.6g/L) in this study. Brominated THMs are the dominant species, and bromoform is the most dominant one. TTHMs values are found mostly higher in winter, in con- trast to other studies on drinking water of freshwater sources. Keywords: Chlorination by-products, trihalomethanes, seasonal variations, drinking water, desalination, Kuwait. INTRODUCTION Water disinfection generates hundreds of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) through reaction between the disinfectant Water means life, and it represents the basic requirement and organic matters occurring in the water [1].
