Water Crisis Hits Hundreds of Thousands in Southern Omdurman as Blue Nile Levels Drop
The Khartoum state government has reported an acute water shortage after the Al-Saleha water station halted due to a sharp decline in the Blue Nile's water level.
- The Khartoum state government said the drop in the Blue Nile caused pumps at the Al-Saleha water station to go out of service, affecting supply to several neighborhoods.
- Governor Ahmed Othman Hamza inspected the station and directed the mobilization of all state machinery to work around the clock to remove silt and address the recession.
- Water Authority Director Mohamed Ahmed Awad stated that the station may return to operation within one to two days after digging a new channel for water.
- The water authority has started drilling two high-yield wells to provide a reserve water source for emergencies, Awad announced.
