                 produced, power for pump stations and treatment plants, and
                 fresh water requirements of the oil field fire fighting
                 bf forts which af ford numerous opportunities for more effective
                 use of resources in the recovery ef fort. See Figure 3.

                       RECOMMENDATION 05:-

                       initiate diligent efforts to coordinate Ministry
                 cooperation in addressing recovery from a perspective of
                 Kuwait interest rather than individual Ministry'persp'ective.
                 Examples of the type of cooperation needed are typified by
                 addressing issues such as; (1) the best use of tertiary
                 treated ef f luent from sewage treatment plants - f ire f ighting
                 or irrigation, (2) control of water supply from a perspective
                 of -recovery of the 'sewage collection and treatment, and (3)
                 electric power availability delaying Tahra sewage treatment
                 plant recovery. Also, the excess' potable water production
                 capacity of Al-Zour power being wasted to the sea rather than
                 seeking benef icial usage for f ire f ighting, irrigation or
                 other purpose.


                       CONCLUSION 16.*

                       Restoration of sanitary sewer collection system pump,
                 stations is being impeded by long delivery times for pump
                 factors which are to replace existing @ipment. Times for
                 delivery of 6 months to almost one year (45 weeks) are
                 currently anticipated by OMI. Premium payments and expedited
                 delivery should be considered in a review and alternatives
                 evaluation.

                       RECOMMBNDATIONS 16:

                       6a.' Provide an expediter reporting directly under the
                 PM.   The expediter's responsibility include identifying and
      obtaining critical items required for repair.
                       6b. The expediter will review the situation.regarding
                 the @eported.long lead times for procurement of key components
                 required for the restoration of . the sewage collection and
                 treatment systems, and for critical repairs with the goal of
                 expediting procurement or repair of critical components, even
                 if at premium costs. The corps of Engineers could prepare to
                 offer assistance in facilitating procurement, repair or
                 delivery to Kuwait. (MPW, OMI)
                       6c.   The expediter will consider implementing these
                                                                     d times for
                 possible  solutions to the problem of long lea
                 procurement of replacement parts: (1) investigate other
                 sources of supply, and (2) shipment of the defective equipment
                 abroad for repair.    Sources of supply may be large cities in
