In a significant development, an agreement was signed to remove silt and sediment from the Wadi Shuaib Dam in Jordan. This initiative is expected to increase the dam’s water storage capacity by approximately 500,000 cubic meters, benefiting various sectors dependent on the water resource.
The collaboration between the Jordan Armed Forces, specifically the Royal Engineering Corps, and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation underscores a commitment to safeguarding water resources, enhancing water management, and addressing environmental challenges. The project aims to enhance the dam’s storage capacity by removing sediment, thereby improving its ability to retain rainwater.
Minister of Water and Irrigation, Raed Abu Saud, highlighted the ongoing efforts to enhance water harvesting, maintain dams, and ensure the readiness of water facilities to store water during rainy seasons. He expressed appreciation for the support of the Armed Forces in contributing to national water projects through their technical expertise and specialized equipment.
This partnership between government entities demonstrates a joint effort to preserve and sustain key water facilities, reflecting a unified approach to water management in Jordan.
