Afqa Spring was a vital resource for the Palmyra Oasis, helping sustain settled communities and agriculture for centuries. The Palmyrenes organized the distribution of its water in a 21-day cycle, and the spring was also connected to temples, canals, and a system of water allotments. According to researcher Rami al-Duwairi, the spring dried up in the 1990s following haphazard excavations and poorly planned tourist developments, leading to the decline of orchards and the loss of hundreds of trees. Restoring it would require careful geological and hydrological studies, along with protection of its archaeological and environmental surroundings. It could also be included in tourist routes linking it to Palmyra’s landmarks.
