| ABSTRACT: | The project was aimed at the elaboration of basic information for planning and management of groundwater abstraction and the presentation of the results in hydrogeological thematic maps. The project aims included: * Preparation of a synopsis of the groundwater resources of Hasa, Jafr and Disi basins (based on the evaluation of existing hydrogeological studies and data), and the presentation of the results in maps. * Definition of existing gaps in knowledge, and proposing means to close them. * Setting up of a hydrogeological data bank for Southern Jordan. * First calculation of a three-dimensional hydraulic model of southern Jordan which takes all major aquifers in the entire area into consideration. * Preparation of a detailed groundwater flow model for the well fields in the Siwaqa/Qatrana / Wadi Hasa area (originally planned as a separate project). * Reconnaissance survey of the Wadi Sirhan area. The main project activities involved the following: * Evaluation of existing reports and relevant data. * Hydrogeological inventory, setting up of a data bank. * Hydrogeological data interpretation. * Representation of results in maps. * Setting up of hydraulic models. * Model simulation. * Interpretation of results. * Definition of relevant gaps in knowledge. * Recommendations for future investigations. This study comprises five volumes: * Vol. 1 : Main Report. * Vol. 2 : General Maps. * Vol. 3 : Hydrogeological Data Base and Hydrochemical Data. * Vol. 4 : Groundwater Model Investigations (Figures). * Vol. 5 : Maps. |
