HASAKA, (ST)_ The General Institute of Drinking Water in Hasaka governorate has stressed that the quantity of water that comes from Alouk station has been reduced by half as the Turkish occupation forces and their mercenaries control Alouk station, which is the only drinking water source in the governorate.
The Director of the Institute Mahmod al-Akleh said that the quantity of water being pumped from Alouk station in Ras Al-Ayn countryside towards water tanks in Hemmeh area is around 40.000 cubic meter, half of the quantity that the station pumps.
“Out of 10 water pumps, only 2 or 3 ones are being operated, therefore the quantity of water that reaches the areas in the governorate has been reduced by half,” he added.
Since the beginning of the Turkish aggression on the Syrian territories last October, the Turkish occupation forces have cut off water from Alouk station 17 times.
