Through coordinated efforts involving national and local authorities alongside international partners, Syrian water authorities are implementing a series of strategic projects in Hama aimed at strengthening water security, improving service sustainability, and rehabilitating critical infrastructure.
Strategic Water Projects in Hama Countryside
The Public Drinking Water Establishment in Hama province, in cooperation with Emergency Response teams, has launched new water projects in the northern countryside to enhance the stability of water supplies.
In Kafr Nbuda, a project is underway to secure additional water sources. Technical teams have begun preparatory work, including pouring concrete foundations and installing mounts for a solar power system consisting of 105 panels, each rated at 590 watts.
The solar system will power the well, which is also being fitted with a new submersible pump and updated piping. These upgrades are expected to restore the well to full operational efficiency and significantly improve water services for local residents.
In Tal Hawash village, a similar initiative aims to enhance drinking water availability and pumping reliability. Work has started on preparing the site for a larger solar array comprising 165 panels, each with a capacity of 590 watts, to ensure uninterrupted operation. As with the Kafr Nbuda well, efficiency and reliability will be improved through modernization of the system and parts. Such projects are of particular importance for returning residents.
Water Rehabilitation Projects with International Partners
In eastern Hama, the Public Drinking Water Establishment launched two additional strategic projects in cooperation with international organizations. Rehabilitation work on the village well in Jennat al-Sawarna has begun in partnership with UNICEF.
Technical teams are currently installing mounts for a solar panel system, with the next phase set to include equipping the well with modern electromechanical systems and repairing the local pumping and distribution network inoperable for years due to war related damages.
Another project has been launched in the village of Mughair in northwestern Hama in cooperation with the Orange Organization. This initiative focuses on the comprehensive rehabilitation of the pumping network, including repairing pipelines, replacing damaged components, and upgrading inspection chambers. In a subsequent phase, the well will be equipped with a solar power system consisting of 120 panels to ensure continuous pumping and reduce reliance on unstable electricity sources.
Collectively, these projects reflect an integrated approach to securing reliable water access for households and agriculture alike, underscoring ongoing efforts to improve living conditions and safeguard essential resources in Hama province.
