dijlahpoint - Water resources authorities have announced the completion of new barriers in major river channels as part of an extensive campaign to combat the spread of the water hyacinth plant. The works included installing strategic barriers between governorates to trap the aquatic plants and prevent their transmission, contributing to alleviating water flow bottlenecks. These measures aim to ensure the efficient delivery of water shares to beneficiary areas and protect the aquatic ecosystem from the fast-spreading negative impacts of this invasive plant.
