After agriculture became more difficult during the war, we decided to alternate the existing agricultural area of the El Khalid family to produce drinking water. The investment will provide clean drinking water to 700,000 Syrian residents in the immediate neighbourhood and 1.5 million in the wider environment, making it one of the most important plants in the northern Syrian region.
