Potential contamination in the drinking water network.
Safe drinking water is a fundamental aspect of public health and a basic human right.
However, water distribution networks in Syria have suffered extensive damage in recent years due to the war, aging infrastructure, frequent power outages, and a lack of regular maintenance.
These factors have led to frequent interruptions in water pumping, significantly increasing the likelihood of contamination of the drinking water network, especially in areas with leaks or broken pipes.
