Water Resources is starting to dismantle the drainage of the sixth sector in Deir ez-Zor after a 15-year hiatus.
The workshops of the director of water resources in Deir ez-Zor began the work of isolating and cleaning the water drainage in the sixth sector, in the areas of "El Shuhil", "Theban" and "Hawai Theban", east of the Euphrates River.
The works are aimed at restoring the efficiency of the drainage network and improving the agricultural and environmental situation in the area, after the cessation of zoning operations that lasted for over 15 years.
The cessation of maintenance in recent years caused the accumulation of weeds, silt and stagnant water and the formation of swamps, which negatively affected the environmental conditions and the health of the people and farmers.
Interventions in the field include clearing sediments and weeds and opening drains, to improve water drainage and reduce the rise of sewage and its accumulation in agricultural fields.
These measures contribute to the treatment of the phenomena of excess water and soil salinity, the reduction of wetlands and the reduction of the spread of insects and unpleasant odors in the area.
The Ministry of Energy expressed its gratitude to the technical and occupational teams at the Water Resources Directorate in Deir ez-Zor, out of appreciation for the field efforts in restoring the networks and increasing their efficiency to protect the lands and improve the living conditions of the people.
