The inspection team, which included Eng. Ali al-Qairi from the Agricultural Projects and Initiatives Financing Unit, Human Resources official Abdulkarim al-Salami, province Operations head Ibrahim al-Fasih, and Deputy Director of the Red Crescent Branch Ahmed Masoud, assessed the current water levels in the dam.

They called for immediate action to deploy suction equipment to lower the water levels and mitigate the risk of potential dam failure due to recent torrential rains.
