| ABSTRACT: | This investigation was carried out to evaluate the quality of water in Jordan in conjunction with the Zay Water Purification Plant. The Study investigated various characteristics of the water quality along the East Ghor Canal; forming the source of water for the Zay Plant. Sample analysis throughout the investigation indicated heavy contamination between Wadi Yabis and Deir Alla, deriving from vigorous human and agricultural activities in the region. The report suggested several alternatives, and means for the purification of the water obtained from the Zay Plant so that it could be safely consumed by the people in Jordan. |
