Abstract

With the existing and anticipated expansion in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZ), Dubai, there is concern regarding the degradation of water resources in the area. This study was conducted to assess the water quality of the harbor in the JAFZ area, with an emphasis on the impact of discharged pollutants into the harbor. To do so, an extensive sampling protocol was followed to identify target pollutants. The protocol covered sampling of all discharge locations, several harbor stations, and a reference point in the Arabian Gulf. Over 90 parameters were analyzed for most collected samples.
