I h«ve Just received a most Interesting report
cofl&pilcd with /mach trouble ^nd labour by the Bahrain Petro-
leu« Company on the subject of the serious decrease in the
amount of w«ter flo^lnfi from the artsalan v /ella in the
ellaq area. A© ' 0ur Highneaii la aviaro this decrease is
becoming serious and has been the cause of much anxiety
to us all *»nd it now appears from the report that a v»st
quantity of this precious water is running straight into
the see. It appears fron the report that all these wells
ere likely to dry up in time if this great wests of water
is cllowed to continue. I forward herewith a list showing
i>he n^mes of the gardens concerned and suggest that perhaps
Your Klgh&ess could order valves to be put on each well
so that when the gar ners have taken as much water as
they require they can clos^ the valves and prevent rater
running to w^ate* It is also suggested that perhaps
instead of boring nevv artetiisn wells in other ga dens
in the vicinity that water from the existing wells rai^ht
be made to run In the directions required so as to avoid
having too many wells ^nd drawing off too much water
from the underground supply.
