The General Establishment for Drinking Water in Hama Governorate, in coordination with the Ghab District Administration and with the support of Islamic Relief, has launched the rehabilitation of Qulaydin Station in the northwestern countryside of the province. The project aims to improve drinking water services and reinforce their long-term sustainability for tens of thousands of residents returning to the region.
Scope of Works
The scope of works includes the rehabilitation of the station building and its surrounding perimeter wall, and the construction of a guard room.
It also covers the restoration of a 500-cubic-metre ground reservoir and the installation of technical equipment for the station's operation.
Solar Energy System
The project includes a solar energy system comprising 255 photovoltaic panels. This installation provides a power source that reduces dependence on conventional fuel, lowers operational costs, and supports continuous water pumping.
Expected Impact
Upon completion, the project is expected to improve drinking water supply to more than 10 villages and residential communities in the Ghab Plain, benefiting approximately 30,000 people.
The works target residents who have returned to their communities following years of displacement.

According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) on 22 June 2026, the General Company for Drinking Water and Sanitation in Hama, working with Islamic Relief, brought the Qulaydin spring and water station in the Ghab area into trial service after completing rehabilitation works.
SANA reported that the works covered rebuilding the station and fitting it with modern mechanical and electrical equipment, alongside a solar power system of 255 panels rated 585 watts each to keep the station running through electricity rationing hours. The agency put the beneficiaries at more than 30,000 people across more than ten villages and residential communities in the Ghab area. The station's pumps, generator set, operating and shut-off valves and chlorination units had all been lost before rehabilitation.
