The project aims to provide safe and clean water to residential communities in deprived areas with great need by taking advantage of underground water resources.
The implementation plan includes drilling, deepening, and covering artesian wells and building control rooms, in addition to constructing water collection tanks and providing pumping systems powered by solar energy to mitigate the environmental impact resulting from the use of fuel.
The launch of this project coincides with the completion of the rehabilitation and operation of 50 water projects to cover the needs of drinking water and personal use for the benefit of 23,750 people in the governorates of Ad Dali', Raymah, Taiz, and Ibb, within the "Water Projects Rehabilitation" project at $603,556.
