Orontes River Contamination Report
At the beginning of August 2022, pictures and videos of dead fish floating in Orontes River were circulated, in addition to poisoning cases reported in some neighboring areas as a result of eating river fish. In response to this critical health condition, ACU WASH team, one of the members of the #Syrian_Water_Resources_Platform, visited the river and took three water samples from three different sites, and conducted the required water tests to discover the reasons behind the contamination.
