Increase in arable land of 200,000m2
This project involved the construction of 320 meters of cement canals in Kferyachit. The construction of the canals allowed the irrigation of 200,000m2 of new land for agriculture. The canals also prevent surface runoff, which can damage existing crops such as olive, orange and avocado trees.
This project is a part of SEAL’s IRRIGATION NETWORK program, which digs wells and installs irrigation systems throughout Lebanon.
