The rehabilitation of the northern pumping station in the Sahl al-Rouj project in Idlib Governorate has exceeded 90%, paving the way for putting it into service.
The rehabilitation work at the Northern Pumping Station as part of the Sahl al-Rouj project in rural Idlib is nearing completion, with over 90% of the work done. The necessary equipment has been completed, and soon the project will move on to the testing and operational phase, paving the way for it to return to service.
In this context, 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 check on the progress and follow up on the final stages of the project.
The station pumps water to the Basliya and Namra reservoirs, which feed the buried irrigation network serving around 3,400 hectares of farmland, benefiting nearly 25,000 people. This improves the availability of irrigation water and supports agricultural activity in the area.
The General Authority for Water Resources extends its thanks to the FAO and the technical and engineering staff for their efforts in completing the rehabilitation work, contributing to improved efficiency of irrigation facilities and better service for farmers.
