Abstract
Kuwait Bay is shallow and relatively well-sheltered, elliptically shaped embayment at the northwestern section of the Arabian Gulf. The bay covers an area of 735 km2 and has 130 km coastline. It receives different flows such as treated and partially treated wastewater effluents, storm waters, and hyper-saline brine effluent along its shore. The bay is highly polluted due to 32 sewage outfalls located along the shore especially; the Jahra and the Syllabicate bay because they have 14 outfalls and are shelter bays.
