| Abstract: | The article provides a technical and historical analysis of Malta's chronic water supply challenges. It examines the geological structure of the Maltese islands, specifically focusing on the character of limestone and its role in harboring aquifers. The author discusses the scientific investigations conducted by Dr. T.O. Morris between 1944 and 1946 regarding groundwater salinity and the Mean Sea Level Water Table. It also highlights the increasing pressure on water resources due to post-war industrialization and the rise of tourism. |
