Kuwait Environmental Issues:

Kuwait has limited natural fresh water resources and water pollution. However, they have some of the world’s largest and most sophisticated desalination facilities, which provide much of the country’s water. Other environmental issues for Kuwait include air pollution, and desertification.

Answer 3

Kuwait's ecology is still suffering from the first Iraq war.  Nearly 790 Kuwait oil wells were torched by the retreating Iraq army, causing six million barrels of oil to burn a day!  This created tons of soot that damaged every aspect of the regions ecosystem it came into contact with:  desert habitat, migratory bird populations, plant diversity, etc.

Worse, 250 million gallons of oil ended up in the Persian Gulf -- 20 TIMES what was spilled by the Exxon Valdez.  Fish, shrimp and shellfish populations were decimated.  Many it appears permanently.

To this day dead zones exist across the Kuwait landscape -- areas where no plants grow and no animals visit.
