Story details
SANA reported on 27 August 2026 that two water wells in Syria's Lajaat area had been equipped and rehabilitated through a project supported by the Syria Humanitarian Fund. The work involved the St Ephrem Patriarchal Development organization and technical coordination with the public water authorities. The two locations are Buweir Najih and Zubayir Sour, providing named sites for the completed intervention.
For Buweir Najih, the source identifies 70 solar panels rated at 620 watts each and a 35-horsepower electric submersible pump. It also mentions disinfection and protective fencing. These specifications belong to that location; the announcement does not establish that the second well has identical equipment. Reusing the Buweir configuration for Zubayir Sour would create a technical claim that the source does not support.
The project combines well equipment with energy and protective infrastructure. For service providers, it illustrates the range of work involved in restoring a water asset rather than simply drilling a borehole. Panel ratings describe installed equipment and are not measured water flow or daily solar-energy output. The announcement does not provide the wells' depths, tested yields, exact coordinates or individual procurement values.
The official account supports a two-well rehabilitation milestone and a named funding mechanism, but not a full assessment of long-term water availability. Subsequent pumping, water-quality and service records would be needed to evaluate delivery. The completed work should remain separate from other Lajaat proposals and from duplicated coverage of the same inauguration. Recording one event with two distinct locations preserves the project count while keeping each site's disclosed technical details attached to the correct well.
