NASA FIRMS satellite data detects an active fire today at the Doha West Power and Water Desalination Station in Kuwait.
Imagery shows burn marks and smoke trails across the central section of the facility, with NASA’s heat detection extending to the coastal storage tank area.
Doha West is Kuwait’s largest combined power and desalination facility: 2,400MW of power generation capacity and 110 million gallons of water per day, accounting for 38.5% of Kuwait’s entire desalination output.
Kuwait depends on desalination for 90% of its drinking water.
