Jordan Valley Authority Secretary-General Hisham al-Haisa said the Authority manages 16 major dams with a combined capacity of 365 million cubic meters, as well as more than 650 water-harvesting sites with a capacity exceeding 150 million cubic meters, bringing total capacity to more than 500 million cubic meters. These sites make it possible to collect rainwater across more than 82% of the Kingdom’s area. The Authority established 40 new sites last year, and a feasibility study found that building the first earth dam in Wadi al-Rayyan would help reduce water losses from evaporation. Al-Haisa said the National Carrier project, which will transport up to 300 million cubic meters, would increase the supply of treated water available for agriculture by around 150–170 million cubic meters. This would run alongside a project in Wadi Araba aimed at bringing at least 70,000 dunums of land into agricultural production.
