摘要

The state of Kuwait is characterized by a desert- type environment with low and erratic precipitation, high evaporation rates and dry hot climate. The main objective of this paper is to compile and analyze the available recorded rainfall data to be readily available for future hydrological studies. Statistics of the precipitation data for the period between 1957 and 2002 were used for precipitation analyses and assessment. It was concluded that the average total annual precipitation recorded for the last 45 years was 115 mm and occurred strictly between October and May (rainy season). The maximum and the minimum annual precipitation for the same period were 260 mm in 1975-1976 and 28 mm in 1993-1994. Only in five rain seasons within the last 45 years the total annual precipitation exceeded 200mm. The average monthly precipitation was 14 mm and the highest was 25 mm in January. Like other arid regions, the average monthly evaporation always exceeds rainfall many times over. However, there are periods during which high intensity rainfall far exceeds evaporation rates resulting in the formation of runoff water in wadis and in extreme severe flooding. For example, in 1934 heavy rain in few hours has destroyed houses and thousands of people were homeless. That year was called by local people "Al-Haddama" which means the destructive. During rainy season in 1993-1994 and 1997-1998 several destructive floods have been recorded and the precipitation was about 40 - 65 mm in few hours. The highest daily precipitation was recorded on 11th of November 1997 and it was 65 mm. During that day, Kuwait experienced flash floods and millions of cubic meters of runoff water were originated. It is recommended to establish an action integrated plan to control the. flash floods in order to protect the important infrastructures. The strategy of the action plan should include three major steps i.e.: 1) Assessment and delineation studies, 2) Proposing engineering measures and 3) Environmental management and proper land use.
