ABSTRACT:	An investigation comprising some 26 bore holes has been carried out to quantify the potential leakage through the Right Bank Ridge after impounding of the Karameh Reservoir. Detailed geophysical logging of the boreholes has enabled the delineation of thin, high permeability sand layers within the ridge which appear to be laterally continuous. A number of long term permeability tests were also taken to augment testing carried out as part of previous investigations. The investigations have confirmed the general nature of the geology in the ridge, particularly the complexity of the Ghor El Katar / Lisan contact where a number of talus-derived sand and gravel fans have been identified. As a result of the investigations it was predicted that the leakage through the Right Bank Ridge to the north of the contact area will be modest. The losses were estimated to be of the order of 20 to 30 l/s when the reservoir was at full storage level. Losses to the south of the contact, in the Ghor El Katar were likely to be negligible
