Desilting and maintenance work on the Abidin and Al-Alan dams in Daraa Governorate to boost their readiness
The Directorate of Water Resources in Daraa continues its monitoring and regular maintenance work on dams. Its teams and machinery carried out dredging work at Abideen Dam in the western countryside, which included removing sediment, closing some gullies, and reinforcing the dam body to reduce soil erosion caused by rainwater.
The work also included cleaning the top of Al-Alaan Dam from weeds and dirt, and reinforcing its back face to enhance protection against erosion and maintain the safety of its structures.
Abideen Dam has a storage capacity of about 5.85 million cubic meters, while Al-Alaan Dam's capacity reaches 5.25 million cubic meters, making their maintenance and readiness important to maximize the use of water resources in the governorate.
The General Authority for Water Resources extends its thanks to the technical and engineering staff and field workshops in the Daraa Water Resources Directorate for their efforts in monitoring and maintaining the dams.
