The Funnel like structures are water tanks. There are present in few select areas, said to be unique to Kuwait. That is probably the reason why we have miniature of these in front of some Kuwaiti villas.
There are totally twenty four such funnel type tanks located in three places in Kuwait . One of three locations is Bayan (in the picture) near the Bayan Palace (nine tanks), second one is South Sura (six) and the last one is in Al-Ardiya (nine).
