The U.S. Regional Coordinator Jess Baily spoke at the opening ceremony. Using a series of pumps and conveyance pipes, the water system moves fresh water from the Bekhal Waterfalls to a storage facility in the Soran Town center. From there water is distributed to some 155,000 residents of the town and outlaying rural areas. "Shelter for Life" was the implementing partner.
