The barrier’s storage capacity is 75,000 cubic meters, and the project serves approximately 5,000 people. It cost 75 million riyals and is 100 percent complete, with direct funding from the Interventions Unit.
Engineer Al-Turki explained that the unit is making continuous efforts to expand the scope of programs to support the construction of barriers and water dams, with the aim of enhancing agricultural activity.
He pointed out that these efforts are a translation of the directives of the Leader of the Revolution and the Supreme Political Council, as part of the effort to achieve self-sufficiency in agricultural crops.
Engineer Marwan Hashem, Public Relations Director of the Central Emergency Unit, emphasized the unit’s commitment to implementing development projects in various fields, particularly agriculture.
