Regarding the original construction of Aden Tanks which nothing is accurately known, those were discovered accidentally by Lieutenant (now Sir Lambert) Playfair when serving as an Assistant Resident in Aden in the year of 1854. Those tanks were once completely hidden by rubbish and debris from the hills, but were then uncovered and repaired by the British Government which ruled here until 1967. The lower circular tank (called Playfair Tank) was cleared out subsequently. The aggregate capacity of all the tanks exceeds 20 million imperial gallons!
