Kuwait was one of the first Gulf states to build a wastewater network, covering about 100 square kilometres, in the 1950s. The Public Works Ministry has since launched a series of wastewater treatment facilities to cope with increasing demand.

About 60 per cent of the country’s wastewater is treated at its 425,000 cubic metres a day facility at Sulaibiya, which began operating in 2004.
