Paras 4 A 6 ; There are 6 wells Inside the Heflnery at
Sitra. The function of these wells Is two-fold - (a)
to provide water for boilers and condensers In the Refinery
and (b) for fire protection. For the second of these
objects the wells are not, of course, normally used, but
the water would be available In the event of emergency.
For the first of these objects water from these wells Is
absolutely necessary, r Sea water cannot possibly be used
In boilers or condensers on account of corrosion, sediment-
atlon and scaling. Any scheme to use sea water In place
of well water In the Refinery Is entirely Impracticable.
Para 6 : For several months I have personally ensured
that water Is not wasted at the
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
