Abstract
The report highlights the locations of five water reservoirs in the area, including Dik el Mehdi, Qornet el Hamra, Beit Chabeb, Bikfaya, and Hemleya. The Dik el Mehdi water reservoir is located in the middle of an urban settlement and has a parking area suitable for fire trucks. However, it lacks an outlet as a fire hydrant. The recommended modifications include equipping the reservoir with an outlet as a fire hydrant. The estimated cost for this modification is $1,217. The Qornet el Hamra water reservoir has three big tanks that are always full of water, but it lacks an outlet for civil defense. The recommended modifications include extending a metal pipeline of 4 inches from one of these tanks and installing a hydrant. The estimated cost for this modification is $1,217. The Beit Chabeb water reservoir is a renovated EBML reservoir that is operational. However, it lacks an outlet as a fire hydrant. The recommended modifications include extending a metal pipeline of 4 inches from one of these tanks and installing a hydrant. The estimated cost for this modification is $1,217. The Bikfaya water reservoir has a water pipe outlet in the middle of the square, but it is being used for other purposes. The recommended modifications include turning it into a regular hydrant so that only civil defense can link their hose to it. The estimated cost for this modification is $253. The Hemleya water reservoir is situated uphill and supplies water to several nearby villages. However, it lacks an outlet as a fire hydrant. The recommended modifications include installing a pipeline from the EBML reservoir to the roadside facing the municipality, then installing a hydrant and a nest. The estimated cost for this modification is $853. The Bhaness water reservoir is an EBML reservoir plant that is operating but lacks an outlet for civil defense. The recommended modifications include extending a pipeline from the reservoir and installing a pump and a hydrant. The estimated cost for this modification is $1,217.
