Dutch €10M project to lower Talal Dam sediment
The Municipality of Perma in Jordan, in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature and with support from the Netherlands, has proposed an environmental project valued at 10 million euros over five years. The goal is to reduce sedimentation in King Talal Dam and enhance its storage capacity. The project focuses on implementing 100 water harvesting wells and providing temporary employment opportunities for local residents, as part of efforts to protect water resources and promote environmental sustainability. Additionally, the municipality aims to establish a tourist restaurant funded by Italy to boost tourism and community engagement, emphasizing the natural assets of the area, such as the surrounding forests and the absence of waste, despite challenges related to sanitation efforts.
