Two wells were drilled in Qamishli to meet the needs of the residents

In response to the needs of local residents, and in coordination with the Directorate of Water and the Municipality of Qamishlo, the Kurdish Red Crescent, with the support of Àrea Metropolitana de Barcelona (AMB), implemented the “Emergency Water Response” project.

As part of this initiative, two wells were drilled in the neighborhoods of (Alaya and Hilaliya) and equipped with submersible pumps powered by solar energy.

Each well was connected to a main water tank with a capacity of 5,000 liters, which in turn supplies a distribution system consisting of three secondary tanks (2,000 liters each) strategically placed within the targeted neighborhoods. This setup ensures broader access to safe water for the largest possible number of residents.

The project also included specialized training sessions for commune members and the Water Department staff on:

* Protecting solar power systems and maintaining wells.

* Operating the wells seasonally.

* Water chlorination techniques using chlorine tablets.

This project comes as a direct response to the growing need for safe and reliable water sources for the city’s population.
