Energy: Kuwait is one of the oil producing countries, following the oil production cycle we can identify stocks and flows of energy; Oil in the field (stocks) – Extracting and transporting oil from fields (flow)-Oil in tankers (S)–Transporting oil to refinery (F)–refinery (S)–Shipment (F)–Retail (S)–Oil selling (F)–Storage at end user (S)–Consumption of oil (F). Water: Seawater and groundwater are considered the main stocks of water. A flow of water can be observed following the process of extracting water from the groundwater fields or the desalination plants, and the transportation to underground reservoir or water towers to be stored. Stored water in the city is handled by the Ministry of Electricity and Water; distributed through networks of pipelines (flow) to the consumers to be stored in tanks (stocks). The water is then used for various purposes. People; A proper number of people are traveling into the city for work some people come and stay for as long as their work contract is eligible others might move with their families and live for a longer period which eventually turns them into stocks. This has a major impact on the city structure; in terms of real estate, economy, Etc. Details in discussion
