| ABSTRACT: | Springs are one of the main source for irrigation water in the Jordan Valley. Al Far’a irrigation project replaces an open channel with a pipe system to reduce water losses due to evaporation and percolation. The project included the construction of a conveyance dam, a reinforced concrete settling basin, in addition to sand filters, reservoirs, and the pipeline distribution systems. The booklet describes the project and is divided into five chapters: Chapter 1 gives a background about the area, water resources, and economic situation. Chapter 2 is an economic study on the agricultural section in the west Bank. Chapter 3 focuses on issues such as the study area, location, land ownership and water rights. Chapter 4 describes the projects and compares costs with incomes with and without the project being implemented. Chapter 5 gives conclusions and recommendations. |
