It is one of the functions of the Geological Survey Office attached to my Department to investigate the country's underground water resources. Two geologists are at present engaged in the preliminary work and are examining the position in those districts with most urgent needs. It is intended to publish hydrogeological maps and reports when surveys of the different regions are sufficiently far advanced.
