About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding an expansion of government administration in Bahrain that had been made possible by an increased level of oil revenue being received by the state. The correspondence discusses the intended direction of this expansion, the state's investment policy, a number of possible economic development projects in Bahrain and the condition of the country's water resources.
The file contains two reports written by officials of the Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO) regarding the possibility of manufacturing cement in Bahrain (ff 35-39 and ff 48-51), as well as a report entitled 'Water Resources of Bahrain' that was also written by a BAPCO official (ff 58-66). A report on BAPCO's water supply at Zellaq is also included in the file (ff 86-92) , this report contains a map on folio 92 that is entitled 'Sketch Map showing Approximate Position of Drainage Ditches Carrying Surplus Irrigation Water to Sea.'
The file also contains extracts from a Memorandum entitled 'Water Resources of Bahrein Island' by Mr. Max Steineke of the Californian Arabian Standard Oil Company (ff 112-116).
A number of letters in Arabic from Shaikh Ḥamad bin ‘Īsá Āl Khalīfah, the ruler of Bahrain, to British officials are contained throughout the file.
