Maintenance workshops affiliated with the Water Resources Directorate in Deir Ezzor continue their technical work to rehabilitate pumping stations and raise their operational efficiency, as part of efforts to ensure the continuity of irrigation water and its access to agricultural lands, especially in preparation for winter irrigation.
The work carried out at the Sector 7 station in the Albukamal countryside included the implementation of a set of technical, mechanical and electrical measures, with the aim of improving the station’s performance and enhancing its operational readiness.
The works included installing an internal and external lighting system to improve working conditions and enhance safety during operation and maintenance operations, in addition to preparing the location of the non-return valve and installing it to protect the pump cellar from being flooded with water, especially when the level of the Euphrates River rises.
The workshops also carried out work on dismantling and repairing the main axis of the first helix in the lifting station and returning it to service, in addition to preparing the oil cooling circuits for the main speed boxes of the pumping groups, which contributes to raising operating efficiency and maintaining the safety of mechanical equipment.
These works come within the directorate’s ongoing plan to maintain and rehabilitate pumping stations, ensuring the continuity of the irrigation system and improving its efficiency in meeting the needs of agricultural land and serving farmers in the region.
The station is of particular importance due to its role in irrigating an area estimated at approximately 7,582 hectares of agricultural land, in addition to its contribution to supporting agricultural production and promoting water self-sufficiency, encouraging residents to return to their homes and lands and resume their agricultural activities.
