About the project
A project to rehabilitate the Hasna and Shabrouniyeh irrigation canals, which branch from the Southern Kabir River in western rural Homs. The two canals irrigate about 750 hectares of farmland and benefit around 20,000 people.
Scope of works
- Rehabilitation of the concrete sections of both canals.
- Construction of box culverts and side water intakes.
- Raising the efficiency of the canals, regulating water flow and reducing losses, so that irrigation water reaches the farmland it serves.
