| ABSTRACT: | This project began in 1980 as a result of an agreement between the Royal Scientific Society (RSS) and the Jordan Valley Authority (JVA). The project aims at monitoring the quality of the water in King Talal Reservoir (KTR). The monitoring process is implemented by RSS where samples are regularly taken to be tested from the following locations: 1. Inlet to KTR 2. Wadi Rimeimin 3. Middle of KTR 4. Outlet of KTR In order to monitor the pollution level (if any) of the KTR water and its suitability for irrigation, the samples are tested for their physical, chemical and biological characteristics. The Royal Scientific Society produces two reports every year to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (JVA) and the Ministry of Planning who is funding this project in collaboration with RSS. The project is still ongoing. |
