Details:
The rehabilitation works of the northern pumping station in the Elroj Plateau project in the Idlib region are nearing completion, after the completion rate exceeded 90%, with the completion of the required equipment and the transition soon to the test and operation phase, in preparation for its return to service.
The Director of Water Resources in Idlib conducted a field tour, accompanied by a delegation from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), to see the reality of the work and follow the final stages of the project.
The station pumps water to the Basaliya and Al-Namra reservoirs, which feed the buried irrigation network that serves about 3,400 dunams of agricultural land, and benefits about 25,000 people, which improves the supply of irrigation water and supports agricultural activity in the area.
The General Authority for Water Resources thanked the FAO and the technical and engineering team working for their efforts in completing the restoration works, which contribute to improving the efficiency of the irrigation facilities and serving the farmers.
