Your telegram 83: Water Supplies.

Thank you for helpful information. We agree your paragraph
2 contains most feasible source.
2. Recent heavy rainfall has given us enough water to see us through winter but we are proceeding with feasibility study in case future need arises
3.
Grateful if you could let us have fairly soon any of following further information on Bangphra that is available:
(a) level of reservoir (ie head of water available) (b) present pumping installations;
(c) terrain (in relation to pipelaying);
(d) loading point;
(e) cost and time involved in and local resources available
for pipelaying ›
4. From charts it seemed to us that loading point in deeper water east of Ko Sichang Island and closer inshore might be preferable to five miles offshore from Bangphra,
Please pass Priority to Bangkok.
