This research discusses the problem of drinking water shortage and
distribution instability in Salamyeh city due to the current crisis.
Salamyeh city dependents on Orontes River as a source for drinking
water through Hama water supply facility, wh
ich sufferes repeated
sabbotage attacks. As a result, an emergency measure was implemented
by depending on local water sources within the city, which are deep wells
that produce water of sulphuric nature.Three desalination plants were
provided to treat local sulphuric water producing suitable safe water, but
these plants production is way less than the city needs.
