After a ten-year hiatus due to terrorism, rebuilding a small branch of the Euphrates River in Deir Ezzor
On June 27th, the workshops of the Directorate of Water Resources in Deir ez-Zor have completed the work of isolating and rehabilitating the stream of the small branch of the Euphrates River that passes through the city center.
The Director of Water Resources, Engineer Muhammad al-Rajab, said that the works to isolate and rehabilitate the stream of the small branch of the Euphrates River, which was carried out by the Directorate after a 10-year hiatus due to terrorism, included the removal of all 5 dams, each consisting of dirt, rock, cement and iron waste.
The terrorist groups installed them to obstruct the flow of the river and cut off the water at the time from the eastern neighborhoods of the city, which caused the accumulation of sewage water.
Al-Rajab added that a process of isolation was carried out by special mechanisms sent by the Public Commission for Water Resources for the entire stream of the small branch, which is about 7 km long.
Al-Rajab explained that these works contributed significantly and directly to improving the spatial environment of the area and preventing the spread of insects.
