Hargeisa(QARAN)-

The Somaliland Minister of Water and Natural Resources, Mudane Qassim Sheikh Yusuf Ibrahim accompanied by the Somaliland ministers of Agriculture, Mudane Aden Ahmed Elmi and Presidency, Mudane Nur Amin paid a visit to the site of a new water complex currently under construction towards south of Hargeisa.

Speaking to the media at the site, Mudane Qassim Sheikh Yusuf stated that this new complex will help to alleviate any shortages in water for the residents of Hargeisa and the surrounding areas.

Mudane Qassim Sheikh Yusuf also stated that the equipment being used in the construction were donated by the UAE Red Crescent society through the offices of its chair Sheikh Hamdan and follows the visit made to that country earlier in 2008 by the Somaliland President Mudane Dahir Rayale Kahin.

According to the engineers overseeing the projects the new well has reached water after drilling for less then 15 days and has reached a level of 300 metres of the final distance of 400 metres. The engineers are confident of reaching sufficient water reserves which will be able to sustain the needs of the residents of Hargeisa and its environs.

The Somaliland ministers thanked the UAE Red Crescent society, Sheikh Hamdan and all the staff at the new complex construction site. There has been confirmation from the Somaliland ministry of Water and Natural Resources on plans for several other similar complexes across the country.
