AMMAN— The initial results of the chemical
tests carried out on the ‘
red lake’ in the Aghwar region, found that high

behind this phenomenon, according to government sources, Al Ghad News reported.

Chemical tests on the water and soil carried out by
the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and the Jordan Valley Authority found high
proportions of salt and minerals including Manganese and iron that formed as a
result of geological processes.
The sources said that both the ministry and Jordan
Valley Authority had not yet completed the examination of all the samples and
was waiting for the remaining tests of all the samples taken from the same site
to come in. The rest of the chemical tests require more time for their results
to come out, along with the necessary biological tests of samples taken from
the area.
The sources confirmed that the results of the biological
and chemical tests will be announced as soon as they are finalized.
