The King Abdullah Canal is the primary source of drinking water for Amman. It receives its water from Lake Tiberias (also known as the Sea of Galilee) and the Yarmouk River. Over 100 kilometers long, the canal is uncovered and exposed to run-off. It was classified by the Jordan Ministry of Health as a Category 3 Water Source. The Zai Water Treatment Plant, which takes raw water from the canal, was required by the Ministry to install UV treatment to treat Cryptosporidium and Giardia as a result of this Category 3 classification. Miyahuna Water operates the Zai Water Treatment Plant. During the design of the UV treatment installation at Zai, Miyahuna recognized that using UV systems that have been pre-validated through bioassay testing was the best way to ensure reliable UV dose delivery. As a result, Miyahuna purchased four TrojanUVSwift® UV disinfection systems.
