Syria Unveils Water Projects

Syria has launched two water projects to improve the water supply of capital city Damascus and its surrounding countryside.

The projects include eight node pumping stations in Damascus, built at a cost of SYP210m ($4.39m), which will supply 12,500m³ of water a day, 19,250m-deep wells near the eighth traffic nodes, tanks with a capacity of 5,000m³, a subscriber service centre and sterilisation systems.

Syria also commissioned the Al-Rabwa pumping station, which was built at a cost of SYP222m ($4.64m) and supplies 28,000m³ of water a day to the capital.
