Draining agricultural drains in the third sector to get ready for the winter season and reduce soil salinity
The Water Resources Directorate in Deir Ezzor continues, through dredging and maintenance workshops, the work of desilting and cleaning the agricultural drains in the third sector across all its areas, which includes the towns and villages of Al-Mariya, Al-Abd, Muhaisen, Al-Buleil, Al-Toub, Sa'lu, and Al-Zubari. This is in preparation for the winter agricultural season and to improve the condition of the agricultural drainage network.
The work includes removing weeds, mud, silt, and stagnant water accumulated inside the drains, which helps improve water flow, increase drainage efficiency, and ensure the network is ready to carry out its role in removing excess water.
These efforts are important in reducing water levels in agricultural lands, minimizing the risks of soil salinity, and maintaining soil fertility and crop safety, supporting the continuity of agricultural activity and improving production conditions.
The General Authority for Water Resources appreciates the efforts of the dredging and maintenance workshops and the staff of the Water Resources Directorate in Deir Ezzor, and the fieldwork and ongoing follow-up they carry out on desilting and maintenance, in order to preserve the efficiency of the agricultural drainage networks and serve the lands and farmers.
