Jordan Valley Authority Starts Sediment Reduction Project at King Talal Dam
The Jordan Valley Authority, in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature and the government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has launched a project to reduce sediments in King Talal Dam's basin in order to enhance water security in Jordan. The project, which spans four years and is funded with 10 million euros, aims to decrease sediment inflow to the dam by at least 10% by the end of the implementation period. The approach relies on engineering and natural solutions to promote the dam’s sustainability and preserve its storage capacity, addressing the root causes of sedimentation at its sources. This effort aims to strengthen water resource protection and support national water security. The project forms part of the 2023-2040 Water Strategy, targeting the challenges posed by climate change and water scarcity, and involves local and international stakeholders as well as farmers to achieve sustainable results that can be expanded to other regions.
