More than 10 000 farmers in southern Hama, Syrian Arab Republic, will expect a sustainable flow of water to their lands after FAO has completed rehabilitation works on eighty-eight kilometers of irrigation networks and seventy kilometers of drainage networks.. The irrigation networks, rehabilitated by FAO under the Building Local Resilience in Syria (BLRS) project with funding from UK Aid, will allow irrigation water to reach 7 500 hectares of land in sixteen villages to achieve better and sustainable production of the area’s seasonal and diverse crops, mainly wheat, legumes, vegetables, and crops for fodder production.
