Syria Announces Urgent Response to Rising Euphrates Water Level
The Emergency Response Committee in Deir ez-Zor has halted all tourist boats and banned swimming in the Euphrates River. River ferries in Al-Bukamal have also been suspended due to rising water levels from the Turkish side. The water flow has reached 825 cubic meters per second so far, with expectations to reach 900 cubic meters on Sunday, and potentially increase to 1,200 cubic meters per second later on. These measures come after the Ministry of Energy gradually increased water releases from the Kdiran Dam, while the authorities in Al-Bukamal are conducting inspections to ensure safety. These include checking engines, providing rescue equipment, and pursuing those who violate the regulations legally.
