Description:

Abstract: This file contains correspondence among British officials in the Persian Gulf and London, as well as the Kuwaiti Government on various means of securing a reliable supply of water for Kuwait. The papers vary from proposal for a condensing plant, and possible pipeline from Basra in Iraq, to obtaining the details of how much such ventures would cost and which firms could possibly oversee their construction. The papers also contain letters from various Kuwaiti merchant contractors and the Kuwait Oil Company relating to the construction of a pipeline from the oil company to Kuwait's principal settlement.The file also contains early maps of Kuwait's geology used to ascertain the viability of groundwater.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence for this description commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 232; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out. Two additional irregular foliation sequences are present in parallel between; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled, and are at times crossed out.
