Rehabilitation of the Sector Six drains after more than 15 years of inactivity
The workshops of the Water Resources Directorate in Deir Ezzor continue their work on dredging and cleaning water channels in Sector Six, covering the areas of Al-Shuhail, Dhiban, and Hawayej Dhiban east of the Euphrates River. The goal is to restore the efficiency of the drainage network and improve the agricultural and environmental conditions in the area.
These works are particularly important because the targeted channels haven’t been dredged for more than 15 years, leading to the accumulation of weeds, silt, stagnant water, and the formation of swamps, which negatively affects the environment and public health for locals and farmers.
The tasks include removing accumulated sediments and weeds and opening up the channels, which helps the water flow better, prevents high water levels in farmlands, reduces waterlogging and soil salinity, and minimizes water accumulation, insects, and bad odors.
The General Authority for Water Resources extends its thanks to the technical and engineering teams and field workshops at the Water Resources Directorate in Deir Ezzor for their efforts in carrying out these works and rehabilitating the water drainage networks after many years of inactivity.
