governorate indicated that the governor discussed with the director of sewage the efforts to drain rainwater and plans to expand services, noting that the drainage operations relied on infrastructure projects including transmission lines, treatment plants, and drainage systems implemented in
several areas of the province. The meeting also addressed plans to include the Bastna areas in sewage networks and rainwater drainage as part of projects aimed at expanding services and alleviating the hardships faced by residents in those regions.
