He acknowledged the security challenges facing the state but affirmed that efforts are underway to maintain water supplies through continuous communication and maintenance programs to repair water line breaks. These efforts are aimed at guaranteeing that all residential neighborhoods receive safe drinking water.

For his part, Engineer Rahma Al-Imam Hamad, the General Director of the Water Administration in the state, confirmed that the new drinking water station in Kosti is operating well after receiving 160 drums of polyaluminum chloride provided by UNICEF as part of a joint program to offer technical and logistical support to the state's water management.
