The impact of ambient temperature on water consumption in Kuwait
This paper discusses the potential impact of ambient temperature on fresh water consumption in Kuwait. Data on monthly mean ambient temperature, expressed in terms of degree days, and monthly water consumption are analysed. It is argued that most of the variation in monthly consumption is caused by ambient temperature variation; this is estimated to account for about 20% of annual consumption. Since fresh water in Kuwait is produced in desalination plants, it is estimated that ambient temperature variation cost the equivalent of about one million barrels of oil in 1982.
