Implemented in coordination with and under the supervision of the local authorities, the four-day operation focused on clearing Oued El Bey and removing the blockages that were restricting the flow of water towards Sebkhet Soliman. The intervention followed a series of consultation and coordination meetings involving representatives of the relevant regional and local administrations, under the supervision of the chair of AEDS’s technical committee.
