AMMAN — Red tinted water was found seeping
from one of the streams feeding into the South Jordan Valley and into the Dead
Sea on Saturday, according to Al-Ghad daily.
Citizens reported that water
from one of streams from the top of a mountain was flowing tinted red, which raised
their concern, according to the head of the Water and Irrigation Committee in the Karak
Governorate Council, Fathi Al-Huwaimel.
Huwaimel indicated that committee contacted the concerned
authorities to determine the source of the red water.
Director of Agriculture in the Southern
Jordan Valley Yassin Al-Kasasbeh stressed that the authorities are
inspecting the incident site, adding that “the hole is located beneath a bridge
which is still under construction, and this phenomena is usually found in pools
near the sea due to red moss and halophilic bacteria
formation.”
For his part, Rashid Al-Maaytah, director of Karak
Environment said that a team had been formed to investigate the site and
determine the cause of the leakage.
