Rainfall across Kingdom reaches about 90% of overall annual average by Friday, compared with 40% last year, positive indicator for improved water season and noticeable recovery in dam storage and groundwater levels.
Water Ministry spokesperson Omar Salameh says rainfall reflects positively on water situation, noting any rainfall contributes 3–5% to groundwater recharge, especially after decline over past 2 years due to climate change and excessive pumping.
He adds ministry works to maximise benefit from rain and floodwater by diverting floodwater at Shu’eib Dam and storing it in King Abdullah Canal, removing part of sediment at Mujib Dam, and utilising floodwater in northern regions for storage at Wadi Al-Arab Dam.
Measures come within ministry plan to enhance water resource management efficiency and improve storage levels, supporting national water security.
