Rehabilitation of the Shelfatia pumping station in collaboration with FAO to improve irrigation of 6,000 dunams in Latakia.
Details:
The Directorate of Water Resources in Latakia announced the continuation of the rehabilitation works of the pumping station (PS1) in Salaftia, in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with the aim of increasing operational efficiency and improving irrigation services for approximately 6 thousand dunams of agricultural land.
The works include the modernization of the control and control system at the station, where old panels are dismantled and transferred to the administration's warehouses, in preparation for the installation of new panels, as a continuation of the civil, mechanical and electrical restoration works that were carried out in the past.
It is expected that the restoration works will contribute to improving the efficiency of pumping water and its supply through pumping stations to the favored agricultural areas, thus helping farmers to secure the needs of their crops, support the stability of agricultural production and improve the management of irrigation water.
