AMMAN — Work is underway by UN-Habitat to implement a
pioneering Green Flower Triangle project, which aims to collect flashflood
waters in the Amman area, according to Al-Ghad News.

Funded by the government of Japan, the project depends on collecting
rainwater in underground tanks for later use.
The UN agency said the project’s location, where rain water coming
downstream from Al-Quds Street towards downtown Amman will be collected, was
carefully selected in consultation with the Greater Amman Municipality.
In previous years, the
downtown area was severely affected by flashfloods, causing major damage to
shops and businesses. The geographical nature of downtown Amman, the design of
the existing rainwater drainage network were unable to deal with heavy rainfall
within a short period of time.
The agency said once the
project is proven successful, it will be emulated and implemented in other
areas, assuring that it would contribute to collecting large quantities of
rainwater and preventing possible flooding in the downtown area.
