Damascus, April 15 (SANA) A World Bank-backed, five-year project to rehabilitate Syria’s devastated water infrastructure has entered its final evaluation phase, the Ministry of Energy announced Tuesday.
Slated to run from 2026 to 2031, the initiative aims to restore drinking water and sanitation services in priority regions heavily impacted by the war. Key components include emergency repairs to supply networks, the rehabilitation of the Ain Zarqa water system in Idlib, the upgrading of the Upper Orontes project in Homs and Hama, and the expansion of the Adra wastewater treatment plant in rural Damascus.
Beyond physical infrastructure, the program will introduce modern network monitoring systems, improve operational efficiency, and build institutional capacity to align with reconstruction demands.
