Jordan programs / Jordan project 278-0243 · 1980
Grant is provided to the Government of Jordan (GOJ) to develop the institutional capability of the Natural Resource Authority (NRA) to undertake a systematic and comprehensive pilot study to assess the availability of ground water in Northern Jordan. The NRA will implement the project. The NRA will drill a network of exploratory/observation/test wells to fully appraise the quality and the quantity of water located in various aquifers in the study area. Tests will be conducted to examine the hydraulic characteristics and boundaries of the aquifers and to determine if the aquifers are interrelated. Other tests will be conducted to measure water movement, examine the types of rocks being penetrated, and determine the chemical properties of ground water at various depths. Surface waters will also be examined to determine stream and spring flows, and to gauge the effects of rainfall and run-off on surface water. The interrelationships between surface and ground water will be studied, particularly the effects of developing aquifers on surface water supplies (at Azraq Springs). Also, the recharge potential for storing surface water in ground reservoirs will be addressed. A computerized wa
