Heba pointed out that the importance of the projects lies in qualifying and training the human cadre, “Knights of Development,” and establishing cooperative associations in the directorates and providing them with the necessary capabilities to ensure their success, organizing, directing, and mobilizing energies through work projects and precise studies that represent a comprehensive database at the level of regions and areas of the district, “the water map.”
