| ABSTRACT: | This mission had investigated the possibility of saving excess rainfall by building mud dams in the lower part of the valleys. The hydrological conditions in Jordan, especially in the desert area were examined in order to establish the hydrological feasibility of desert dams, taking into account the scarcity of rainfall, intensity of potential evaporation and amount of sediment transport. Based on data from existing and designed desert dams, it was stated that a desert reservoir is viable in Jordan. |
