The Corps of Royal Engineers has been supplying water to the British Army for 150 years. During the Cold War the civilian infrastructure was more developed and the need for front-line water supply projects has diminished. Nevertheless, since the 1990s campaign in the Balkans, with its emphasis on restoration of civilian infrastructure, British military engineers have substantially enhanced their water-development expertise. This paper reviews the Army's capabilities and how they were delivered during the post-conflict reinstatement of water supplies in Kosovo and Iraq.
