| ABSTRACT: | WS Atkins International (WSAI) has been appointed by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, through their Agents, The Water Authority of Jordan (WAJ) to carry out the preparations of: * a technical, economic and financial feasibility study; * the conceptual design; * environmental impact assessment; * preliminary engineering design; * cost estimate. The design to Deir Alla conveyance system will be used to supply raw water to the existing Deir Alla - Zay Conveyance System, which supplies Amman with potable water, with a tie - in point at or near the existing Deir Alla Pumping Station. The purpose of this project is to separate raw water supplies for domestic use from those for irrigation and to avoid deterioration of the water quality during transmission by conveying it in a pipeline instead of a canal. The design of the new Adasiya to Deir Alla conveyance system is to take into account the additional water arising from the Peace Treaty. As a result of the Peace Treaty between Jordan and Israel, and the existing developments in Jordan, the sources of raw water identified in the Terms of Reference for the conveyance are: * The Yarmouk River * The Mukheiba Wells * Lake Tiberias via the Deganya Conveyance from proposed desalination plants in Israel. Reports submitted: * Inception Report (16 pages + Appendices) * Draft Feasibility Study (106 pages) * Feasibility Study (104 pages) |
