Chronology

  • January 2001: Bahrain once had a total area of 665 km2 but due to land reclamation, the area increased to 780 km2. For political and economic reasons, systematic sea reclamation started in Bahrain in 1990. Between 60 and 70 square kilometres of land under the sea were reclaimed in order to construct artificial islands.
