Syria to Install 5 Million Smart Water Meters in National Digital Push

The Ministry of Energy signed an agreement with Saudi Meters Company (SMC) to supply and install five million smart water meters, formalized on the sidelines of the 24th Buildex International Construction Exhibition at the Damascus Fairgrounds. The deal was signed in the presence of Minister of Energy Mohammad al-Bashir and is part of broader efforts to modernize public services and improve the efficiency of Syria's water management systems.

Al-Bashir described the project as a step toward digital transformation, saying the meters will create an accurate database to support better planning, optimized operations and targeted maintenance. He added the initiative should enhance fairness among subscribers, raise service quality, and accelerate the modernization of water infrastructure through greater use of digital technologies in public utilities, as reported by SANA
