(Zaman Al Wasl)- Residents of a poor village in Hasaka province were overwhelmed with joy when the main spring in their area started to pour again after ten years of depletion.
The heavy rainfall in the northeastern Syria has revived the spring of Ayn al-Ghura, following ten years of drought in one of the poorest areas in Syria, largely due to arid conditions and exacerbated by land use restrictions in place around the nature reserve established on the mountain. Many inhabitants have migrated to Hasaka city and the nearby town of Tall Tamer to seek better conditions.
The spring of Ayn al-Ghura located at the edge of the Mount Abdulaziz, some 35 km west-south-west from the center of the city of Hasaka. The mountain extends from east to west and has a length of 85 km, a width of 15 km, and an area of 84,050 hectares.
There are around twenty villages and thirty smaller farming settlements scattered around the foot of the ridge with a total population of between 13,000 and 15,000 individuals.
All of the inhabitants of the area are Arabs of the Baqqarat al-Jabal tribe.
