BAHRAIN.
2nd J/Thani,135£
As a trial measure I suggest linking up wells Nos.13,29,10 & 9.
From observation taken,these four wells,between them,produce
approximately 23000 gallons per hour,i.e.23,000 x 24 = 552,000
gallons per day. Assuming that 10,000 persons live in the section
of the town bounded by a square formed on A B C D in the city plan,
then 552,000 f 10,000 * 55 gallons per head per day. As half of
this amount would be sufficient, there will still be a surplus of
water for other Municipal purposes.
Three new washing places could be arranged at suitable points
within the section A 3 C D and fitted with, say,four S" taps.
Arrangements could be made to cut off the supply between certain
hours if this was thought desireable.
Drainage
For drainage purposes soakage pits would have to be used,and a
drainage system installed later,if the scheme is found workable.
Approximate Cost:-
To connect the wells as stated, approximately 2800 feet of G.I.
pipes 2" and 1" would be required, which would cost approximately
Rs.2,500/-/- (for material only), or with labour, sundry valves,etc.,
approximately Rs.3,500/-/-
The construction of the additional washing places would also be
necessary. I understand from the Secretary of the Manamah Munici
pality that this each be erected for the sum of Rs.325/-.
