However, the seawater desalination process consumes high energy with an adverse impact on marine and coastal ecosystems. Global sea levels could rise by 1-3 meters during this century according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Due to the nature of the low-lying coastal of Kuwait, it is at risk to sea levels rise associated with climate change. With a rise of (0.5 - 2 meters) at sea level. Kuwait could lose 1.4-3% of its coastal territory, which affects 5% of its GDP.
