Ammon News - Recent rainfall and valley runoff have contributed approximately 3 million cubic meters of water to the kingdom’s reservoirs over the past 24 hours, bringing total water storage across the country’s 15 main dams to 74 million cubic meters, or 25.6% of their total capacity of 288.128 million cubic meters, according to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation - Jordan Valley Authority.
