Notes
This file contains correspondence between British officials following a request made by Shaikh Mubarak Al Sabah, the ruler of Kuwait, for the British authorities to ensure an adequate water supply to Kuwait (a copy of the letter is contained on folio 3).
The correspondence includes discussions between British officials and Shaikh Mubārak Āl Ṣabāḥ and later in the volume, with Shaikh Sālim al-Mubārak Āl Ṣabāḥ.
The file contains correspondence with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company and a firm based in Mohammerah named Messrs Strick, Scott and Company concerning different options for increasing Kuwait's water supply and the logistics and costs of these options.
Much of the correspondence concerns the construction of a water plant by Messrs Strick, Scott and Company and the numerous difficulties that the project faces.
