In 1965, the government of Kuwait commissioned the Swedish engineering company of VBB (since 1997 Sweco) to develop and implement a plan for a modern water-supply system for Kuwait City. The company built five groups of water towers, 31 in total, designed by its chief architect Sune Lindström, called "the mushroom towers".
For a sixth site, the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed, wanted a more spectacular design. This last group, known as Kuwait Towers, consists of three towers, two of which also serve as water towers. Water from the Desalination facility is pumped up to the tower.
These thirty-three towers have together a standard capacity of 102,000 cubic meters of water. "The Water Towers" (The Kuwait Tower and the Kuwait Water Towers) were awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (1980)

The Kuwait Towers (Abraj al-Kuwait in Arabic) has been regarded since the opening in 1977 as a symbol of national identity of Kuwait. In 2014 the Kuwait towers were submitted to Unesco to be listed as a world heritage site. At the moment they are on the tentative list.
