Muscat - Arab today
A study is currently being conducted by the Ministry of Regional Municipalities and Water Resources in cooperation with the Sultan Qaboos University, to record the level of groundwater in some areas of the Muscat Governorate.
The study comes after a reported rise in the level of groundwater in Ansab, Amerat, Al Khuwair, Darsait and areas around the Muscat International Airport, especially near the surface.
Introductory reports from the study show that the groundwater often accumulates in the wadi sediments near the coast, in wadi streams and in solid rocks. The level of groundwater in Amerat in the upper reserve layers were recorded to be between 10-20 metres, and the average of the groundwater levels in the lower reserve layers around 1-5 metres. In Al Khoudh and the area around the airport, the groundwater levels are around 5-55 metres.
