Damascus, Jan. 18 (SANA) The Syrian Arab Army regained full control of the Euphrates Dam on Sunday, returning management of its water and hydroelectric facilities to specialized governmental staff and technicians after years of SDF organization control.

The Euphrates Dam is a critical infrastructure for Syria’s water and energy supply. Its hydroelectric station, located on the dam’s right bank, houses eight generating units, each capable of producing 110 megawatts, providing electricity to large parts of the region.

The dam also contains the Euphrates Lake, or Lake of al-Tabqa, which stretches roughly 80 kilometers long and up to 8 kilometers wide, covering an area of approximately 640 km². It has a maximum storage capacity of 14.1 billion cubic meters of water at a level of 304 meters above sea level, making it a vital source of drinking water, irrigation, and electricity generation.
