IV.—Wells of the North-Eastern Sudan

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The necessity of providing a water supply for the town and harbour of Port Sudan has led to an investigation of the district, and some interesting water analyses, relating both to the Valley Fill and to the Maritime Plain, have been made. Through the kindness of Capt. Kennedy, R.E., Director of Public Works, and of Dr. Balfour, Director of the Wellcome Research Laboratories, I am able to quote some of them. The analyses are given on p. 318 and have been made, as indicated, either at the Chemical Research Laboratory, Khartoum, in charge of Dr. Beam (W.R.L., Khartoum), or by Mr. Lucas, Superintendent of the Egyptian Survey Department Laboratory, Cairo (S.D.L., Cairo). A rough map of the district (Fig. 2) shows the positions of the localities from which the samples were obtained.
