gives the same scheme with each reservoir at up to 100 million imperial gallons and describes it as part of the ministry's current fiscal programme, covering both fresh and brackish water reserves. Smart Water Magazine serves a first request but returns 403 to repeated requests from the same address, so it behaves as a rate-limited bot wall; the page was read in full through a fetching service. The total of about 2.73 million m3 is the conversion of six times 100 million imperial gallons and is not itself published. Coordinates are left blank: no source consulted pins the site within Al Na'eem and no matching mapped feature was found. This row answers the earlier exclusion of Kuwait's strategic reservoirs, which was made for want of a named procurement, site or volume; all three are now published.
