The research aims to study the extent of the possible benefit from the solar fall falling in the state of Kuwait to operate submersible type pumps and to show the rate of flow of these pumps according to the change of solar radiation taking into account the spatial and temporal factor. The abundance of the area in southern Kuwait was chosen because there is good brightness for this area underground at different depths. As for the temporal factor, the timing of the transition was chosen between two important seasons that start from mid-January to mid-March, which is the period during which the brightness of the sun moves from the intermediate stage to the full brightness stage. The experimental study showed that the pump passes through two stages, the first of which is not operating and responding For the process of drawing if the solar radiation falling on the panels is less than 225 W/ m2, and the second stage occurs a response and operation of the pump gradually if the falling solar radiation is higher than the previous value, as the study showed that there is a large amount of external energy that is not exploited at some times of the day, especially in Sunny days, where the proportions decreased from 4.8 l/ 1000 watt to 1.5 l/ 1000 watt with an increase in the amount of energy from 430 w/ m 2 to 1005 w T/ m 2 The amount of flow fluctuated during the days of the study due to the differences in the sun's brightness and climate change, and the study was conducted using a method of taking periodic, daily and instant measurements, to determine the amount of energy and flow by using a solar radiation measuring device with a storage memory, which is a device for one of the companies that install solar energy panels And easily traded and other devices such as digital voltmeter and clip meter and water meter, the study concluded that the use of submersible pumps powered by solar energy with the presence of special characteristics such as the pump capacity, water depth and degree of brightness.

The possibility of using the survey as an intermediate stage of assessing the state of working conditions and health of workers. It is concluded that this method is not applicable as an independent device but can be used with other methods of medical research.

This study aimed to examine the trend of ambient air pollution (i.e., ozone (O3), nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), benzene (C6H6) and particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 10 microns (PM10), and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) at 10 monitoring stations located in the main residential and industrial areas in the State of Kuwait over 6 years (2012–2017). We found that the SO2 level in industrial areas (0.065 ppm) exceeded the allowable range of SO2 in residential areas (0.030 ppm). Air pollution variables were defined by the Environmental Public Authority of Kuwait (K-EPA). In this study, integrated statistical analysis was performed to compare an established air pollution database to Kuwait Ambient Air Quality Guidelines and to determine the association between pollutants and meteorological factors. All pollutants were positively correlated, with the exception of most pollutants and PM10 and O3. Meteorological factors, i.e., the ambient temperature, wind speed and humidity, were also significantly associated with the above pollutants. Spatial distribution mapping indicated that the PM10 level remained high during the southwest monsoon (the hot and dry season), while the CO level was high during the northeast monsoon (the wet season). The NO2 and O3 levels were high during the first intermonsoon season.

The net benefits and public acceptance for a proposed reform to the current subsidization of energy in the State of Kuwait was investigated in this study. The proposed subsidization suggests that the government pays the consumers the subsidization cost in advance and in exchange for raising the subsidized tariffs to full price. The consumption will likely be reduced by a rate equals the over consumption due to the current subsidized tariffs in relative to the income. The net benefits is expected to be maximized and shifted to a pseudo-equilibrium point where both the governments and the consumers will be better off financially. The public acceptance toward the proposed strategy was examined using 274 voluntarily one-to-one interviews for gasoline and 121 for electricity and water. Also, a utilities meters reading program was conducted on 90 houses out of the 121 interviews for utilities. The interviews for gasoline and utilities indicated 57% and 66% of the respondents see no equity in the current subsidization, 55% and 80% admitted to overuse, and 11% and 21% averages of the over consumptions, and 67% and 66% of the respondents were willing to adopt the new strategy. The consumer is expected to save 912 USD/year from gasoline, and 8,198 USD/year from utilities. The estimated net benefits is 5,841 million USD annually with 62% attributed to utilities benefits and 38% to gasoline benefits.
