The Water Towers from the series 'Tomorrows Past'

In 1965, the government of Kuwait commissioned the Swedish engineering company of VBB (since 1997 Sweco) to develop and implement a plan for a modern water-supply system for Kuwait City. The company built five groups of altogether 31 tower designed by its chief architect “Sune Lindström”, called “the mushroom towers”.Each tower holds 3,000 cubic meters of water. The tower groups are distinguished by number, height, color and ornamentation and they serve as landmarks for their districts.
