The drought of the Ain Al-Arous spring in the countryside of Raqqa raises the fears of the people of the region

The drying up of the water of the "Ain al-Arous" spring, which is located south of the city of "Tal Abyad" in the northern countryside of Raqqa, has raised the fears of the area's residents about the increasing crisis of access to water, especially during the summer.

According to local sources, the "Ain al-Arous" spring has completely dried up after the water level in it declined during the past few years, which caused the drying of the "Ain al-Arous River" because it is the main spring of the Ain al-Arous River.

Local sources reported that the dryness of the spring is due to several main reasons, including the excessive use of spring water to irrigate crops, the frequent drilling of wells within the surrounding areas in the spring, the effects of the heat wave during the last period and the scarcity of rainfall.

It is worth noting that the "Ain Al-Arous" and "Al-Balikh River" springs are considered among the most important parks that the people of the region visit during the summer for hiking and swimming, in addition to being a source of livelihood for many fishermen. The spring is located within the areas of control of the Syrian National Army in the village of Ain The bride is south of the city of Tal Abyad in the northern countryside of Raqqa.
