Signing an agreement to drill two wells and extend a water network by 1.8 km in Marib

A memorandum of understanding was signed in Marib City to implement a new water project aimed at enhancing water resources and expanding the supply network in the city district, funded by the British organization Muslim Hands and supervised by the Local Water and Sanitation Corporation.The project includes drilling and equipping two productive artesian wells in the Old Marib wellfield at a depth of 120 meters each, equipping them with integrated submersible pumps, and constructing the associated civil and electromechanical control rooms.

The engineering deliverables also include laying a 10-inch, 1,850-meter-long main water transmission line to connect it to the primary network and the existing strategic reservoir, contributing to the enhanced sustainability of water supplies and expanding coverage for residents and internally displaced persons (IDPs).<o:p></o:p>

Marib City is experiencing unprecedented demographic pressure and a major expansion of IDP camps, which has reduced per capita access to clean drinking water and depleted the production capacity of existing wellfields, creating an acute water supply gap that threatens the stability of urban and public health services in the city.
