There is a departure from empiricism, with emphasis on co....     View More Details

In almost all technical institutions of learning, the laboratory work in any subject runs concurrently with the course in theory of the subject. Consequently, the students perform the laboratory work mechanically without intellectual involvement in the work. It is, therefore, necessary that the students, before conducting the experimental work, are familiarized with elementary theoretical and ....     View More Details

Water is a scarce commodity in Middle East countries including Kuwait and is the most limiting and strategically important resource. Water is essential for urban, industrial, and agricultural needs. At present in Kuwait, the bulk of the potable water comes from desalination plants. The cost of desalinated water is very high. In addition the increased standard of living has resulted in increase....     View More Details
