The programme is similarly dedicated to the production and management of water resources and has begun drilling three wells connected to the water network that serves about 30,000 beneficiaries. The freshwater production and management project addresses serious needs due to water shortages in the governorate, which suffers from a lack of water flow to homes and utilities, frequent cuts and scarcity. The project is expected to fulfil the need for potable water, as well as provide irrigation water for agriculture and livestock.
