Abstract
In January 2005, the State of Kuwait has launched one of the most advanced and sophisticated environmental projects in the Middle-East to monitor its water territories. This leading project, which is funded by the Environment Public Authority, is considered the main building block for a huge integrated system to monitor the environmental status for the whole area of Kuwait. The advanced system consists of a number of buoys integrated with the state-of-the-art suite of sensors that measure a number of important biological and chemical parameters in water. These parameters are crucial to monitor if someone is seeking to inspect the oil pollution, Industrial pollution, Organic pollution, and Sewage and Wastewater. Finally, this system enhances the capability in predicting any abnormal or undesired event that may affect the eco-system of the State of Kuwait.
