| ABSTRACT: | The report defined the situation of the carbonate aquifers of Amman - Zarqa in 1983 and their relationship to the surface flows of the Seil Zarqa. It examined the possibility of augmenting the available supplies from the Hummer aquifer by artificial recharge of secondary effluent from Ain Ghazal and commented on the need to render the Amman - Wadi Sir aquifer and the Seil Zarqa free of population. The report investigated the potential for exploitation of the Kurnub sandstone and other deep aquifers and forward recommendations for exploration by boreholes. Additionally, proposals for a program of monitoring of the flows of Seil Zarqa and of the hydrochemical and hydrogeological parameters of the aquifers were also included in the report. |
