The purpose of this preliminary study was to evaluate the quality of stormwater runoff, and determine the impact of land use on the level of runoff contamination. To accomplish this, 36 samples were collected from 6 sampling locations in the ‘Al‐Asema’ governorate – the capital of the state of Kuwait – over six rain events. Samples were analysed for total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, volatile suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, pH, total coliform, and oil and grease. The results indicated that land use had a significant influence on the major water quality constituents. Stormwater runoff was highly polluted exceeding the accepted limit for TSS, BOD, and total coliform
