Objective ■ Revitalization of Roman Era reservoirs ■ Treatment of water collected in reservoirs ■ Preservation of Umm el-Jimal archeology Photo courtesy of Bert de Vries Photo courtesy of Bert de Vries Recap Design Status 5 of 12

Survey Data Summary Income Distribution ■ Water Uses: Domestic Irrigation 60% ■ Quantity: Minimum of 57.5 m 3 /day Cost: 1 JD/m 3 (untreated) 50% ■ 1.67 JD/m 3 (potable) 40% Percentage Water Use Quantity (m 3 /day) 30% Municipal Distribution 505 Drinking Usage* 22.5 20% Domestic Usage 304 Irrigation 123 10% Livestock / animals 113 Deficit 57.5 *drinking usage based on 5L/day rather than data, as the data gives an average of 0% 21.4 L/day, additionally, there is minimal upwards trend for increasing household size. 0-200 200-350 350-500 More Income Ranges (JD) Recap Design Status 6 of 12

Existing Conditions ■ Watershed Modeling ■ Access to EPA SWMM ■ AutoCAD File ■ Volumes of Reservoirs Photo courtesy of Bert de Vries Recap Design Status 7 of 12

Treatment Options ■ Filtration ■ Granular Activated Carbon ■ Disinfection Photo courtesy of Koshland Science Museum Photo courtesy of Umm el-Jimal Project Recap Design Status 8 of 12

EPA SWMM ■ Reservoirs ■ Conduits ■ Elevations ■ Precipitation Model Recap Design Status 9 of 12

Treatment Literature ■ Slow Sand Filtration – Less frequent backwashing – Stable climate for operating conditions – Access to necessary land requirements – Algae growth possible on top layer ■ Volume Calculations ■ Removal Efficiencies Recap Design Status 10 of 12

Obstacles ■ Communication ■ Transmission to Distribution Point ■ Water Quality Data ■ No Defined Criteria ■ Multiple Clients Recap Design Status 11 of 12
