Under the USAID-funded agreement, the
reservoir and pipeline will be built to ensure the sustainability of
water supply from the pumping station to other areas, improving the performance and
efficiency of
water resource use and the infrastructure of the water supply
system.
The project is expected to be completed within
six months.
The Zara station, which has a drinking
water capacity of 100,000 cubic meters per day — 38 million cubic meters per
year — is one of the main systems for supplying water to Amman, according to
Minister of Water and Irrigation Mohammad Al-Najjar.
He said that, in coordination with USAID,
the
Ministry of Water is also replacing old pumps and installing new ones at
every major station to ensure the water system's sustainability.
