💨 Abstract

Damascus, Syria, is facing severe water shortages due to the driest winter in decades, with its main water source, the Ein al-Fijeh spring, yielding minimal water. The spring, which supplies 70% of the water to 5 million people in Damascus and its suburbs, is at its lowest level, with reduced rainfall and melted snow contributing to the issue. Residents are urged to conserve water, and many rely on private tanker trucks for water.
