Reforestation and Irrigation Plans

The article discusses the development plan for afforestation in Al-Muharraq Governorate in the Kingdom of Bahrain, emphasizing the importance of sustainable maintenance of the planted trees. The members confirmed that the success of afforestation projects is not measured solely by the number of trees, but also by their sustainability and ongoing care to ensure their survival and health conditions. The council called for intensifying field visits to monitor the status of the trees and to adjust the locations and types of planting to avoid obstructing visibility or affecting the overall aesthetic. Additionally, the recommendations highlighted the need to improve irrigation networks to be sustainable and to provide water efficiently. Representatives from the afforestation department explained that the initiative began in 2022 with a limited budget, and current expansion efforts are continuing by reviewing regional needs and expanding irrigation networks, along with implementing maintenance contracts to ensure the sustainability of agricultural work in the governorates.
